Did you check the integrity of your libraries? Are you maybe using portupgrade 
that keeps copies of old libraries in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg ? Maybe some 
things are still linked against these, this can lead to a load of trouble.

You can install sysutils/bsdadminscripts and run pkg_libchk to check the 
integrity of your system.
