In this case, I'm afraid it looks very much as if the problem is local
to your system, and nothing wrong with the port itself.  As the
databases/mongodb port uses the generic mechanisms for handling USERS
and GROUPS it's likely that if there was a problem with the
databases/mongodb port, then you'ld be seeing similar problems with any
port that uses the same mechanism.  There would be an excess of
complaints from many users that would be hard to miss.  No such
complaining has been observed.

In short: something is wrong in the password database on your system
specifically, which is causing the installation of databases/mongodb to
throw errors.

	Cheers,
