I commented out your FreeBSD patching for threads and reinstalled glib2
and then arts finished compiling fine.

I am looking closer at FreeBSD. FreeBSD does with the ports:

.if ${OSVERSION} < 500016
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?=        -D_THREAD_SAFE
PTHREAD_LIBS?=          -pthread
.elif ${OSVERSION} < 502102
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?=        -D_THREAD_SAFE
PTHREAD_LIBS?=          -lc_r
.else
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?=
PTHREAD_LIBS?=          -pthread
.endif

where OSVERSION is "sysctl -n kern.osreldate"

I think that pkgsrc/mk/pthread.builtin.mk or
pkgsrc/mk/pthread.buildlink3.mk can be improved so the workaround in
devel/glib2/Makefile can be removed.
