.la files is not used on FreeBSD to link applications. The problem
you're expireincing is probably because of stale .la files in
/usr/local/lib that contain references to lcms.la. Either reinstall
all ports that depend on lcms first (I suppose, it's ImageMagick for
you), or grep /usr/local/lib for lcms.la and strip references by hand.
