xz(1) and the associated libraries are now part of the base system in
stable/8 and above.
Actually it (the ports build process) does. However, if you have a
version of liblzma.so installed from ports, autoconf will find that and
assume that's your preferred version to link against.

You should first get a list of all your installed ports that depend on
archivers/xz (pkg_info -Rx xz), then force delete the archivers/xz port
and then rebuild all the ports that linked against it.
Note that portupgrade(8) defaults to keeping a copy of the old
liblzma.so shlib in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, and portmaster(8) will do
similarly if given the '-w' option: this will allow un-rebuilt ports to
continue working during your upgrade, but shouldn't confuse the ports
build process. Remember to delete the old shlib once you're done
rebuilding.
Cheers,
Matthew
