I think you're suffering from compiler technology which is simply
integrated incompletely into FreeBSD on your site.  We don't support
2.7.2, we support 2.6.3, and that means that many assumptions will be
made by the header files, libraries, etc. which are incompatible with
2.7.x and cannot be made otherwise without some knowledgeable system
integration work.  Fortunately for you, we've finally freed up some time
and resources and will be bringing 2.7.x into 2.2-current very shortly. 
If you don't already subscribe to the cvs-all mailing list, I suggest
that you send mail to majordomo@freebsd.org and add yourself soon.

I also suggest that you wait an additional week after integration to
allow us to shake out the obvious problems, then upgrade yourself to
2.2-current.
