I bet gv is actually fine, but the problem is actually with the
ghostscript port which is used to do the actual PS rendering.
ghostscript uses png.

The moral of the story is that when you upgrade one port, you must
cvsup your entire ports collection and upgrade all ports which depend
on it.

The easiest way to do this is probably portupgrade -r
