Just like user bind is UID:GID 53. I think it's a good convention to follow. According to section 15.15 of the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/x1960.html UID:GID 80 is free and available. The above section of the handbook should probably be updated if UID:GID 80 is indeed selected for user www. BTW, did anyone notice that user bind with UID:GID of 53 is in consistent with the instructions in section 15.15 of the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook? I think 53 is a good choice for user bind however the handbook should be updated to reflect that UID:GID 53 is not available for use by ports.
