I think you missed some of the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
I'm also a bit confused on exactly what you did, because pkgdb doesn't
make any changes to the programs you can run.  At this point, you need
to start by making sure that programs that use pango are updated to
use the new one.  Something like "portupgrade -fr pango".

This question would probably have been most appropriate for the
freebsd-ports mailing list.

Be well.
