Hmm.  I was looking at the copy of the Porter's Handbook on www.FreeBSD.org 
and it didn't show that one as reserved:

...
proxy:*:62:
authpf:*:63:
uucp:*:66:
xten:*:67:
dialer:*:68:
network:*:69:
pgsql:*:70:
simscan:*:74:
www:*:80:
qnofiles:*:81:
...

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/dads-uid-and-gids.html

Of course, it also didn't show some of the groups now in /etc/group.  Am I 
looking at the wrong porter's handbook?

Incidentally, this was one of the few group ID's I could find that wasn't 
allocated in one of {Darwin, Solaris, FreeBSD, SuSE}.
