Dear Tom Messmer, you have just performed a major upgrade; a number of ports simply needs rebuilding. This -- as well as the reason for this -- was documented in several places: in particular, it was (then) posted to the -current forum. When I remade XFree86 (3.3.6), it did not complain at all albeit I had enabled the dreaded PAM support. You'll find information about these problems (wait for it) in the mailing list archives (e.g. -questions, -current).
