I usually think that including COMPAT_FREEBS7 in your new kernel during the
upgrade process would save one from such agony. I have never used
freebsd-update ever, and might never, because I prefer to build a new system
from scratch, but perhaps you could try it and see if it does resolve your
problem.
There is always this instruction that you need to recompile all installed
ports, which I think you did not do. That instruction makes me sick, given
the time it would take on a critical server.
