A spectacularly bad subject corrected.

My facts were okay but this has nothing to do with pkg per se except dependency 
errors in some ports maybe. Using ld to generate a map of libgtk-3.so.0.1800.8 
gets

ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
//lib/libc.so.7: undefined reference to `__progname'
//usr/local/lib/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined reference to `XRRFreeMonitors'
libgtk-3.so.0.1800.8: undefined reference to `pango_attr_foreground_alpha_new'
//usr/local/lib/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined reference to `XRRGetMonitors'
libgtk-3.so.0.1800.8: undefined reference to `g_param_spec_get_name_quark'
libgtk-3.so.0.1800.8: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_map_config_changed'
libgtk-3.so.0.1800.8: undefined reference to `pango_renderer_set_alpha'
libgtk-3.so.0.1800.8: undefined reference to `pango_renderer_get_alpha'
libgtk-3.so.0.1800.8: undefined reference to `pango_attr_font_features_new'
libgtk-3.so.0.1800.8: undefined reference to `pango_attr_background_alpha_new'
//usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: undefined reference to `environ'

So in my working system the reference to g_param_spec_get_name_quark is resolved 
dynamically or it is not used the firefox et all.

It is still true I do not know what do do about this. Any thoughts welcomed
