Not sure,

root at botelhor:/usr/ports/textproc/linux-scim-gtk# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor start
Starting tor.
Nov 26 08:52:36.301 [notice] Tor v0.2.0.32 (r17346). This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on FreeBSD i386)
Nov 26 08:52:36.313 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.4.8-stable using method kqueue. Good.
Nov 26 08:52:36.316 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
Nov 26 08:52:36.321 [warn] Error setting groups to gid 256: "Operation not permitted". If you set the "User" option, you must start Tor as root.
Nov 26 08:52:36.323 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Problem with User value. See logs for details.
Nov 26 08:52:36.325 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor: WARNING: failed to start tor

As i've mentioned before, the problem is not about --Group param,
the problem is when you have --User param, you need to start tor
as root, but, when you have a "${rcname}_user" var defined, rc
start the program as ${user}, using su -m, like you can see:

+ su -m _tor -c sh -c "/usr/local/bin/tor  -f /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc --PidFile /var/run/tor/tor.pid --RunAsDaemon 1 --DataDirectory /var/db/tor --User _tor --Log notice\ file\ /var/log/tor"
