Are you using postfix or sendmail as your MTA.  And when you built  
the port did you correctly specify which MTA to build for?

Also please provide (assuming default locations used from the port)

  ls -l /usr/local/mailman/data

this way we can see whether the various aliases files are the correct  
owners.

The port is designed to pass the correct the setting for this to  
mailman configure script.  It really is best to let the port  
configuration do its job.
