You are running packages from the wrong version of FreeBSD. FreeBSD 2.2-current (i.e. the development line for the 2.2 release of FreeBSD) uses libc.so.3.0. FreeBSD-stable (2.1-RELEASE, 2.1.5) uses libc.so.2.2. There are two collections of packages as a result. You probably should try using the stuff in ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.1.5 (from memory) as that contains all the up-to-date stuff and works with libc.so.2.2 based machines.
