Hi Brett, As the ImageMagik package installs, it installs various dependancies. The older png package was one such dependancy. As with the linking part, I'm not quite sure. All I know is that it appears that the older png package is installed over the newer port. In my /var/db/pkg, an older png-1.0.7 directory is created.
