You have to specify paths for both in rc.conf. Are your shared libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib ELF or a.out? (Use "file" to find out.) If they're a.out, then you should have moved them to "/usr/X11R6/lib/aout" during the upgrade. In any case, make sure "ldconfig_paths" in rc.conf gives the directories containing ELF libraries, and "ldconfig_paths_aout" gives the directories containing a.out libraries.
