Actaully, I think that the libc.so.500 can remain in its place because
of bsd.lib.mk:
...
SHLIB_NAME=     lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_MAJOR}
SHLIB_LINK?=    lib${LIB}.so
...
.if defined(SHLIB_LINK)
        @ln -sf ${SHLIB_NAME} ${SHLIB_LINK}
.endif
...

As peter pointed out, it is the libc.so link that makes it the
default.
