In /usr/src/UPDATING you can find.

20060204:
         The 'audit' group was added to support the new auditing  
functionality
         in the base system.  Be sure to follow the directions for updating,
         including the requirement to run mergemaster -p.

Either you add the group manually or you make sure to use mergemaster
and merge the required files _correctly_.
