As a belated followup to my own question, I can now reveal the answer to
my question:
> In a recent round of package updates using the excellent portupgrade to

> libpng.so.5.

The answer is of course to RTFM.
From portupgrade(1):
o Rebuild and reinstall all the dependent packages of png that had been
installed prior to png:
portupgrade -fr png -x '>=png'
And lo, it did. What a lovely tool.
Aparently, I'd missed gnomecanvas, gnomeaudio, gconf, glibwww and libgda,
all of which depend on libpng.
