I have screwed up my upgrade from 6.2 to 7.0 following the doc at...

I ran the install a second time and it completed before the next to the
last step including 'portupgrade -af' was completed. I went back and ran
the next to the last step, but still, all my packages complain of
missing shared libraries. Is there any way to get everything rebuilt,
saving me a complete reinstall? Fortunately, I am doing this on a test
box.

  

Try installing misc/compat6x as a stopgap?

Sweet! Thank you very much, all services started. Now, how do I proceed
with my upgrade to 7.0? Do I just rebuild all now and it will update to
the 7.0 libraries and then how to undo COMPAT_FREEBSD6?

As you upgrade the ports they will link against the new verson of the 
libraries, once you're certain you dont need them any more you can just 
pkg_delete the compat6x package.   You can use something like pkg_libchk 
from the sysutils/bsdadminscripts to look check whats still compiled 
againt the compat libs.
