This is not a synth issue, but possibly a security issue. The security
check is correctly flagging possibly hi-jacked files. You should
forcibly reinstall the port to ensure that the artifacts that the port
builds is what you've got installed on your host. I have to say that
the only lines that have been flagged for me are due to the port
binary altering files configuration files, which should have been
located in /var instead of /usr/local.

Cheers.
