That's the wrong place to fix this.

The 'bakcup' spelling has been there quite a long time in
the OFFICIAL port numbers.

See  http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

IOW it is not a FreeBSD problem but is in the distribution from
IANA.   I have no idea on how to get them to fix it.

The last official update at IANA shows June 18 of this year, and
it is still spelled  bakcup.
