I am working with R-2.11.1 on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT (amd64). On several 
systems there had been no problems with installing igraph (0.5.3).

This is what I get from my igraph.so library:

#ldd /usr/local/lib/R/library/igraph/libs/igraph.so
/usr/local/lib/R/library/igraph/libs/igraph.so:
         libxml2.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.5 (0x41000000)
         libz.so.6 => /lib/libz.so.6 (0x4124b000)
         libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x41361000)
         libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x4155b000)
         libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x4176b000)
         libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x4188b000)
         libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x40648000)

The only idea I have is that there could be a problem with the compiler 
version you used to compile igraph. Perhaps R himself an igraph are 
build with different compilers?

Hope this help a little bit,
