I see no benefit and much pain on such a project. Hmm.... I hate to sound nieve, but are those installed via a port? If so, which one? I was doing an upgrade of cvsup with the GUI and I was getting link errors with the x libs because they weren't compiled with pthreads. Installing pth then recompiling xfree86-libs has fixed this problem in every case in the past and hasn't broken a port that I'm aware of (this also fixed my faces compile problem too: see PR for ports/mail/faces for more details).
