Tried to install it, and...

     aneurin# portinstall bsdstats
     [Reading data from pkg(8) ... - 322 packages found - done]
     /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.4/pkgtools/pkgtools.rb:1180: warning: Insecure world writable dir /tmp/ in PATH, mode 040777
     ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
 	! sysutils/bsdstats	(could not find a temporary directory)

Gosh; /tmp is world-writable...  Who'd've thought?

     aneurin# echo $PATH
     /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/dave/bin:

Hmmm...  I don't see /tmp in there.

     aneurin# uname -a
     FreeBSD aneurin.horsfall.org 10.4-RELEASE-p13 FreeBSD 10.4-RELEASE-p13 #0: Thu Sep 27 09:21:23 UTC 2018     root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

Yeah, it's old, but I'm building a new one.
