It works here with the FreeBSD binary. There are two things I have done:
1. copy the DLL's in the following order to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xanim
vid_iv32_2.1_linuxELFx86c5.xa
vid_iv41_1.0_linuxELFx86c5.xa
vid_iv50_1.0_linuxELFx86c5.xa
vid_cvid_2.0_linuxELFx86c5.xa
vid_cyuv_1.0_linuxELFx86c5.xa
vid_h261_1.0_linuxELFx86c5.xa
vid_h263_1.0_linuxELFx86c5.xa
2. run xanim through the following script (of course, you need the linuxemu).
#!/bin/sh
export XANIM_MOD_DIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xanim
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/compat/linux/lib
exec xanim.bin +Aev90 +Sr +Wp +Zper +v "$@"
BTW, there is a bug in the ports Makefile:
