a crude workaround is:

# pwd
/usr/local/lib
# ln -s libpng16.so.16.16.0 libpng15.so.15

However, this seems to be the situation
that pkgng was specifically designed to avoid.
An update to one package breaks another.
Paraview is marked broken now, but pkg upgrade
went happily ahead and upgraded png, making
the installed paraview package unusable.
Unless this is some oversite on somebody's part,
this seems to be a flaw in pkgng design.
