I finally found time to test this. Test setup: FreeBSD 8.1-prerelease, updated ports, in a machine with a PVR-500:
tingo at kg-fil$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-fil.kg4.no 8.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE #4: Fri May 21 00:20:01 CEST 2010     root at kg-fil.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

The mythtv port installed fine (building all of the dependecies took time, but thats the way it is), but at the end I was presented with this:
===>   Registering installation for mythtv-0.23
===> SECURITY REPORT: 
      This port has installed the following files which may act as network
      servers and may therefore pose a remote security risk to the system.
/usr/local/lib/libmythlivemedia-0.23.so.0.23.0
/usr/local/lib/libmythhdhomerun-0.23.so.0.23.0
/usr/local/lib/libmythdb-0.23.so.0.23.0
/usr/local/lib/libmythavformat-0.23.so.0.23.0

      This port has installed the following startup scripts which may cause
      these network services to be started at boot time.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mythbackend

      If there are vulnerabilities in these programs there may be a security
      risk to the system. FreeBSD makes no guarantee about the security of
      ports included in the Ports Collection. Please type 'make deinstall'
      to deinstall the port if this is a concern.

      For more information, and contact details about the security
      status of this software, see the following webpage: 
http://www.mythtv.org

Huh? No pkg-message output? The files is there:
root at kg-fil# pwd
/usr/ports/multimedia/mythtv
root at kg-fil# more work/pkg-message
**********

MythTV has now been installed, but it still needs to be configured.

1.  To create the database, use the following command:

        mysql -uroot -p < /usr/local/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql

2.  Next, run mythtv-setup.

See http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ for more information.

**********

I do not know why it wasn't displayed.

1) mythtv-setup
on the "Video Sources" setup, aftet naming my video source ("TV") and selecting a grabber - Norway (beta) (xmltv), 
I can't get it to run the correct xmltv configure command.
Every time it seems to pick a new grabber at random. Ok, enough of that, I'll just do this manually.
(Whether or not this is related to version 0.5.53 of xmltv, I don't know)
2) mythfilldatabase
ok, xmltv 0.5.53 doesn't work for me (and I should have remembered), so I just portdowngfrade it to 0.5.52 and apply my patches for 0.5.56.
After that, mythfilldatabase works as it should.
3) mythfrontend
- most things seem to work
- LiveTV dos not work. We're back to that old friiend again (from /var/log/mythbackend.log):

Hope this helps.
