Seems that you haven't upgraded libtool yet. If you are upgrading from source, what tool are you using for it? You will need one that handles dependencies. If you are upgrading across major versions of FreeBSD, you really should rebuild *all* of your ports. Is it possible you could switch to precompiled binaries? That's easier for most people, assuming you're okay with default options.
