Yes, this problem happens with both thunderbird and firefox and any 
linux binary (openoffice is the other common one we hit here).

I have two local work arounds.

1) in the bin/acroread7 script patched it to clear LD_LIBRARY_PATH at 
the start.

2) in /usr/pkg/bin/{thunderbird,firefox} patch the LD_LIBRARY_PATH= 
line to remove the "/usr/pkg/lib", ie. set it to:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkg/lib/thunderbird:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

cheers
