Well yes, and no. Any ports specific behaviour in libtool is controled
by command line options, so I'd have to add one for not running
ldconfig when it's run from bsd.port.mk.

It's also harmless. Other than in this case. I think we have multiple
problems here:
1. ldconfig should be ignoring non existant directories.
2. bsd.port.mk should run ldconfig before @dirrms.
3. libtool shouldn't be running ldconfig for modules (xmms's plugins
are compiled with --avoid-version).
I'll fix the last problem.
