 Actually, it appears that the problem is the way the base file/libmagic
 is built as the port version doesn't exhibit such problems:
 v215# file -v 
 file-5.03
 magic file from /usr/share/misc/magic
 v215# file `which file`
 /usr/bin/file: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, relaxed memory ordering, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
 v215# /usr/local/bin/file -v
 file-5.03
 magic file from /usr/local/share/file/magic
 v215# /usr/local/bin/file `which file`
 /usr/bin/file: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, relaxed memory ordering, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for FreeBSD 9.0 (900005), stripped
