This question has been asked on the list every time a SA with that 
notice comes out. Seems that there is no easy way to get a list of all 
applications that are statically linked.

It is, however, quite easy to find out if a particular binary is linked 
statically or dynamically. For example, if you are interested in 
Apache:

heerold# file `which httpd`
/usr/local/sbin/httpd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
