Dunno about FreeBSD in particular but see kdelibs/NAMING:

"NOTE: Files of the format xxxx.la are libtool files that describe the
actual DSO. The DSO itself is usually named xxxx.so or libxxxx.so.
Some platforms require that the name of a DSO starts with "lib". On
those platforms xxxx.la and libxxxx.la both generate DSOs with the
same name "libxxxx.so". Since this leads to problems you should never
use both "xxxx.la" and "libxxxx.la" as names for DSOs!!

*** Since <appname>.la is reserved for KDEInit loadable modules, it is
*** strongly recommended NEVER to use lib<appname>.la as the name of a
*** library."

Cheers,
Waldo
