I have two machines, each with two drives with FreeBSD. I upgraded all of those systems to 11.0 recently and encountered the same thing. What finally worked for me was to upgrade the ports with: portsnap fetch portsnap extract portsnap update and the packages as well with: pkg update pkg upgrade It seemed that if I didn't do it, the upgrading process would overwrite or remove some of the files and libraries, resulting in things like Mate and Slim not working properly after I was finished.
