This is described in 20221015 entry in UPDATING (/usr/ports/UPDATING) -
in a nutshell, there is probably change in some header file making some
collision using already installed header file instead of the one
comming from sources being compiled. I just encountered it as well, it
is possible to overcome it by removing the old one using

pkg delete -f gstreamer1-plugins-bad-1.20.6

and then doing the build, in my case with

portmaster multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins-bad

but use what are used to use here instead :)
