ports-mgmt/portmaster, when '-w' is used, will back up old shlibs to
/usr/local/lib/compat to prevent these breakages.

Alternatively (if there were pkgng packages available), 'pkg install -Rf
pcre' will reinstall any packages dependent on pcre.  If you use a local
package building system (ports-mgmt/tinderbox, ports-mgmt/poudriere) and
still have the old version, 'pkg install pcre-8.30_1' may do it.

Through pkgng, no, unless you have a backup in PKG_CACHEDIR (see
pkg.conf(5)).
