Usually these would be either

- part of the base system, deleted by "make -C /usr/src delete-old-libs"

- part of the ports system, removed as the corresponding port gets 
uninstalled (and there are pkg_cutleaves and similar approaches and I 
suppose also a portmaster option)

- part of some backup of portupgrade or portmaster -w, and are moved out 
to a separate directory, /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg by default.

Otherwise you can try to use sysutils/libchk (which requires ruby - like 
portupgrade that also requires ruby)
