The easiest way would to be install Mailman via the port. In particular,
/usr/ports/mail/mailman/Makefile suggests:
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --prefix=${MAILMANDIR} --with-python=${PYTHON_CMD} \
--with-username=${MM_USERNAME} \
--with-groupname=${MM_GROUPNAME} \
--with-mail-gid=${MAIL_GID} --with-cgi-gid=${CGI_GID}
.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
# The Mailman port supports a number of variables that may be tweaked at
# build time. Getting the values of some of them right is crucial!
# Perform a "make options" to see more information on these variables.
#
MM_USERNAME?= mailman
MM_USERID?= 91
MM_GROUPNAME?= ${MM_USERNAME}
MM_GROUPID?= ${MM_USERID}
MM_DIR?= mailman
.if ${OSVERSION} >= 450000
MAIL_GID?= mailnull
.else
MAIL_GID?= daemon
.endif
CGI_GID?= www
IMGDIR= www/icons
