This isn't really a bug, but more of a typo. While the README for fortune
in the 4-RELEASE source tree reads:

The potentially offensive fortunes are not installed by default on BSD
systems.  If you're absolutely, *positively*, without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt
sure that your user community wants them installed, whack the Makefile
in the subdirectory datfiles, and do "make all install".

the datfile/Makefile is still setup to build and install the offensive
fortunes. Looking at the change-log, the README used to read:

The potentially offensive fortunes are installed by default on FreeBSD
systems.  If you're absolutely, *positively*, without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt
sure that your user community goes berzerk/sues your pants off/drops dead
upon reading one of them, edit the Makefile in the subdirectory datfiles,
and do "make all install".

so I'm guessing that it's just that someone forgot to update the Makefile.
