We actually have this issue in a few places.  One example:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/COPYRIGHT?view=co

In addition some files claim copyright by the FreeBSD foundation but
there have been no copyright assignments:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/CHANGES?view=co

There is a separate issue of copyrights in src/ having subtly distinct
copyrights (- vs * for the bullets).

This is a ripe project for $someone to work on: finding the subtle
differences and making them conform to a single standard.  Note that
this would likely require the copyright owner(s) to agree to the
change.
