Default pthread/portupgrade problems

Just upgraded 6.2 to 7.2-RELEASE. I was following these instructions:
daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html
cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-freebsd-server-upgrades

I did update all my ports before starting. Once it came time to recompile the ports, is when I ran into problems. It ended with a lot of ports being skipped or installation problems. When I tried to manually update one it says:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread
*** Error code 1

In my ports I have ruby+nopthreads-1.8.7.160_4,1 and ruby18_bdb-0.6.5_1 installed. I have searched around but can't find any thing about this...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as i'm going on day 3 trying to get this server upgraded! Thanks.
