Maybe see what "file" thinks of the executables.  Then try "ldd" to see if perhaps they're linked against something that disappeared.
Do binaries copied from /bin to /usr/pkg continue to work?
Do binaries copied the other way start working?
Does "pkg_admin check" say that the checksums of anything has changed?
