I don't quite know. Most of the time such errors are caused by changes
that don't seem harmful. Make sure nothing has changed to acroread (even
it's directory). Then, make sure you're not mixing FreeBSD libraries
with those of Linux (especially X related ones) by checking for a
dubious LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

No. If you installed linux_base-5.2 with the upgrade, make sure your
/compat/linux was empty before you installed the port. Stale files from
linux_lib can mess things up IIRC.
