There are two ways to set up alternate places to find libraries. The first is ldconfig, and you can see ports run this when you install a port containing shared libraries for example. The other is to use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to set alternate paths at run-time. The 'ldconfig(1)' man page has more info for you.
