The problem I was having with the 

unknown group wheel

when trying to compile ports from the ports directory was solved after
investigating the /etc/group file.  My /etc/group file had 
Wheel:*:0:root,steve in it rather than
wheel:*:0:root,steve

Changing Wheel to wheel fixed the problem.

This is interesting because I have not modified the file since installing
the system.  Should this be the default installation setup?

Sincerely,

Steve Wilson
