If you read the docs, you'll learn that ports outside specific areas (like
packages-2.2) are for the current version of FreeBSD, that is now ports are
supposed to work with 2.2 and 3.0.

Both have libc.so.3.0.

Your problem is that you're trying to use a package for 2.2/3.0 on a 2.1
system. Either get the version for your release or do the following trick
(it works but you're warned):

cd /usr/lib
mkdir compat
cd compat
ln -s ../libc.so.2.2 lib.so.3.0
ldconfig -m /usr/lib/compat

Now, every dynamically linked executable will be able to find the
libc.so.3.0 but when you're compiling, only libc.so.2.2 will be taken.
