I'll answer my own question. Should have known better:

	chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/doom
	chmod 4755 /usr/local/libxec/doom/xdoom

I can now save the game. It may not be the best way, but it now
works. Games are saved in the libexec/doom directory. I suppose
/var/games would be better for those *.dsg files.
