Those were rhetorical questions, by the way - I was trying to emphasize that packages don't work around the problem because the act of building the package can trip over the problem. > At package install time.

That's why having a knob to allow the user to specify that linux ldconfig should not be run at install time would be useful. As you rightly mention there are ports that run other linux programs as well, but these can be addressed case by case, whereas ldconfig is in bsd.*.mk and so it can be addressed more generally. Anyway, I just wanted to answer the question posed asking for examples where ld.so.cache need not be updated.
