libmagic is part of the base system, and imports are regularly taken
from the maintainer. The easiest thing to do would be to update your
whole system; short of that, updating just that library from the
FreeBSD cvs tree would probably be the simplest.
If you really want to go to source, I recall there being some pointers
in a makefile indicating where it came from...
