Versions of ports:

>Description:

/usr/local/share/nethack/nethack is installed with setgid "games", but
the GTK library it uses doesn't seem to like that.  It prints:

% nethack

Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:

    http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html

Refusing to initialize GTK+.
Exit 1
