Ignore /proc, unmount it even.  You don't need it on FreeBSD and 
shouldn't expect it to be there.  As for the listings in /usr/local 
they'll need fixed.  On my system, almost everything's owned by root. 
The man directories are owned by man, and 
/usr/local/libexec/polkit-set-default-helper is set as polkit:polkit.

There's a difference between lib directories and libexec directories. 
Libraries are stored in lib and programs you're not expected to invoke 
yourself are stored in libexec.
