My girlfriend had this problem when installing Nethack as a package
from the CDROM. If you do a clean install (after removing the
previously installed package, of course) via the port, the permis-
sions should be set up properly.

BTW, did I mention angband? In some ways I like it better than
nethack. As well, there's *another* nethack-alike called adom.  
Adom, IIRC, is only available as a Linux binary but I suppose it
should run okay under Linux emulation.
