Thanks for the hints.  My gdk-pixbuf.loaders now contains
(manually edited):

------------------------------ snip --
#
#
#
"/usr/pkg/emul/linux/opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/loaders/libpixbufloade=
r-xpm.so"
"xpm" 4 "gtk20" "The XPM image format"
"image/x-xpixmap" ""
"xpm" ""
"/* XPM */" "" 100

"/usr/pkg/emul/linux/opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/loaders/libpixbufloade=
r-gif.so"
"gif" 4 "gtk20" "The GIF image format"
"image/gif" ""
"gif" ""
"GIF8" "" 100
------------------------------ snip --

and I do not anymore get any warnings from acroread7 from my
cursory testing on my 3.99.7-running laptop.

Now, as to what the proper fix is, I do not know.
