Depends. If you have ports installed which still link to libc_r, it's better 
to have the mapping in place. However, it's much preferrable to not have 
anything linking to libc_r left. The easiest method of finding out is simply 
moving libc_r out of /usr/lib. If stuff fails, recompile it. Once your system 
is clean of all references, you can put NOLIBC_R=true into make.conf and 
avoid compiling/installing it during upgrades completely.

Try experimenting with the PTH option on the machines that give you trouble.
