I haven't had acroread6 installed in a long time, but acroread5 still
works for me (in a very carefully controlled environment, because its
security bugs are both serious and unlikely to be fixed).

That's *not* the right place. The right place would be
/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.
The one you found will only help you with FreeBSD binaries, not Linux ones.

haphazard way. Fix the dependency, update the ports, and you should
be fine.
