Ahh, that could cause similar issues with X binaries in /usr/pkg/bin.
Best to just remove those 2 lines entirely.

When these programs are compiled, they're also told where their
library files are to be found. For example, /usr/X11R7/bin/xterm:

$ readelf -d /usr/X11R7/bin/xterm | fgrep RPATH
 0x000000000000000f (RPATH)              Library rpath: [/usr/X11R7/lib]
$

So, when xterm is run, the system will look in /usr/X11R7/lib (in
addition to /lib:/usr/lib). For programs in /usr/pkg/bin, they're set
to use /usr/pkg/lib:

$ readelf -d /usr/pkg/bin/vim | fgrep RPATH
 0x000000000000000f (RPATH)              Library rpath: [/usr/pkg/lib]
$

No need to supply any overrides. Also, remove modular-xorg if you've
installed that.
