This seems to be a local installation glitch.

% uname -vr
8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Mar 13 16:39:47 EET 2009     build at kobe:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KOBE
% pwd
/usr/local/share
% find . -not -user root -exec ls -ld {} + | head -3
-rw-rw-r--  1 games  games  0 Mar 14 19:06 ./games/glines.Large.scores
-rw-rw-r--  1 games  games  0 Mar 14 19:06 ./games/glines.Medium.scores
-rw-rw-r--  1 games  games  0 Mar 14 19:06 ./games/glines.Small.scores
% find . -not -user root -a -not -user games -exec ls -ld {} +
%

So the only files that are not owned by root here are those owned by the
`games' user.

You have many hundreds of files owned by != root users.  Who owns those
files, and do yu remember how the relevant ports have been installed?
