Thank you very much for the investigation and quick fix. I applied it and built it in the porterbox and seems to work fine, even played a sample video remotely with caca. Also compiled it locally and uploaded it already. I tried to fix it in other ways, forcing to run libtoolize, failing to fix it and trying to copy the file from elsewhere, but there's no canonical ltconfig apparently. After ~2h trying again today, I gave up and applied your fix, I already spent many hours yesterday with a similar problem forcing the binaries to use rpath. I hope to upload a version of smpeg2 (depending on libsdl2) soon, and hopefully get rid of this 10+ year old one, so I don't want to spend lots of time with the package. It is a bit sad that all of these tools that are supposed to be helping with portability are so difficult to learn, inescrutable, inconvenient, badly-designed or whatever the reason that they are actually a big problem for portability (or at the very least, big time wasters), be in this case of kfreebsd or the new linux ports (almost ~1k dh-autoreconf bugs so far).
