My guess is that there is nothing to be worried about, however i could 
be wrong. Let me explain..

This morning i received the same kind of message in my security run 
output (yesterday i've updated all my ports):

Checking setuid files and devices:

If i look at my message, i see that lines between 3 to 8 have been changed. After a manual diff between /var/log/setuid.today/yesterday i only get the xorg related lines. Which is correct, since i remember seeing some xorg ports  being updated.

In your message you state, "Begin forwarded message [some Xorg update warnings deleted]:"

Isn't it so that in your message, lines 3 to 12 are just port related binaries? (i assume xorg related). Meaning that ping/ping6, etc aren't updated at all. At least i don't see the +/- signs infront of your ping/ping6 ones. 

My guess. 

Greets.
