If upgrading ports is a possible solution, then you have the fine task of
finding out, which library in everything that's being loaded is *NOT* linked
with libthr, cause a likely candidate would be two different threading
libraries being used.
I would start with ldd -a /path/to/python/wx.so and see if both libthr.so and
libpthread.so (or maybe even libkse) show up.
Also inspect /etc/libmap.conf for entries you may have added in a not too
recent past and forgot about.
Unfortunately, I see no obvious candidates in your package list (ie:
compat-[456]x, *flash*).

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
