Rebuilding src/ will have absolutely no effect, since it's not the =
problem.

Somewhere along the lines (by virtue of the reference to the lzma.la =
file), archivers/xz was installed on the system.  Then src/ was upgraded =
to a point in time where xz was in the base system, rendering the port =
as IGNORE.

At a rough guess, a ports upgrade after that fact found the now-defunct =
archivers/xz and most likely removed it WITHOUT also rebuilding all =
ports that depend on liblzma.so -- resulting in a system where some =
ports are using the src/ library, some are _perhaps_ using the old one =
from the port (check /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg -- it may be in there), =
but worse, a number of installed ports have references to liblzma.la in =
their own .la files.

What you could try doing is grepping for liblzma.la in all of those .la =
files, making a note of which ones are affected, then use pkg_info -W =
<name-of-file> to determine which ports they belong to and forcibly =
rebuild them.
