I'm sorry I didn't post this. I fixed it by installing the compatibility 3.x distribution from /stand/sysinstall When I did that, the libpng.so.3 was there in the libs directory. I thought maybe the answer was obvious to everyone but me, so I didn't think it was worthy of posting. Installing the 2.x also fixed one of my other problems with some software I've been using from two previous upgrades...
