They aren't assigned to anything by default under FreeBSD. What you
are seeing are the default group assignments under Linux -- I believe
that GID 12 is 'mail', but I have no idea what gid 14 is for. On my
system, that file ends up as group 54:
% find /usr/compat/ -nogroup -ls
166930 2 drwxr-xr-x 3 root 54 512 Nov 3 08:00 /usr/compat/linux/var/lock
182529 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root 12 512 Feb 6 1996 /usr/compat/linux/var/spool/mail
Which might be a difference due to having a different version of
linux-base installed:
% pkg_info -I linux\*base\*
linux_base-8-8.0_4 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386)
As the /compat/linux stuff uses the base /etc/passwd data for it's UID
and GID information, those group ownerships are arguably incorrect;
however, I don't think that they really make any sort of difference.
You could try experimenting with changing the group ownership of those
files and see if anything breaks...
Cheers,
Matthew
