Seems to me that an update to the misc/compat12x port might be in order:

g1-55(12.2-S)[7] cat /usr/ports/misc/compat12x/pkg-descr
This package allows you to install the compat12x libraries on your
system, so you can use legacy binaries that depend on them.

Ports usage example:

--
.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

.if ${OSVERSION} >= 1300000
LIB_DEPENDS+=   libncurses.so.8:misc/compat12x
.endif
--
g1-55(12.2-S)[8] 

Peace,
david
