I believe it is rebuilt at boot, but if you don't boot because you're already up and running and just adding a distribution later, then you have to reboot to pick up the library changes so that ports library detection (and presumably other things) work correctly. I guess I'm thinking more in terms of making the distributions be packages: i.e., part of the install procedure would be to automatically run ldconfig to pick up the changes.
