Thanks!
BTW, MongoDB port has the same error:
===> Installing for mongodb-2.0.6_1
===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Checking if databases/mongodb already installed
===> Creating users and/or groups.
Using existing group `mongodb'.
Creating user `mongodb' with uid `922'.
pw: user 'mongodb' already exists
*** Error code 74
Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mongodb.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mongodb.
===>>> Installation of mongodb-2.0.6_1 (databases/mongodb) failed
===>>> Aborting update
Terminated
===>>> You can restart from the point of failure with this command line:
portmaster <flags> databases/mongodb
How should one report errors in such cases?
