If I remember correctly the FreeBSD runtime linker didn't support them
but that has been fixed many years ago and many ports have been
installing such libraries since then.
What has changed recently is that now libtool based ports can also
install them (when they set USES=libtool). It has the advantage that
these ports will see fewer library version bumps so there'll be fewer
cases where users have to recursively rebuild dependent ports.
Another advantage of USES=libtool is that it makes libtool link in
direct dependencies only instead of recursively linking in the entire
dependency chain in each library/executable. This means that when a
version bump does happen, users will only have to rebuild ports that
depend on the library directly.
Because of these two points it is highly recommended to add USES=libtool
to all ports that use libtool, even if they build fine without it.
