  cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman
  MAIL_GID=mailman make install clean

  works since the commit to mailman's port Makefile in Sep 2006 which
  turned MAIL_GID to nobody (for use with postfix). The change you
  suggest has the same effect, so I'd go for it.

  BTW, does anyone know why MAIL_GID was changed from mailman to
  nobody?
