Thanks for reporting this. The port sysutils/logwatch needs an update on this. 

At my installation there are some more logfiles/*.conf missing.

I will prepare a fix for the port as the maintainer, but I cannot commit. Thus, it will take some days to fix that.

After the upgrade they will be available ;-)

Until then you may 1) ignore those error messages or 2) just run those reports you are interested in:

logwatch.pl --detail XY --range yesterday --service ABC --service CDE …
