>Description:
1) installed ports
postfix-2.8.5,1
mailman-2.1.14_5

2) Group mismatch error

This error can be repeatable. I  could fixed with making from mailman
source with configure --mm-groupname=nobody, not via ports

i) make config to use postfix under mail/mailman
ii) confirm the postfix checkbox
iii) portinstall mail/mailman

After conventional setup as the post-install document,
mailman cause group mismatch error: bellow

<ref_impl_ruby@koko.totto.to>: Command died with status 2:
   "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post ref_impl_ruby". Command output: Group
   mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as
   group "nobody", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as
   group "mailman".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group
   "nobody", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option
   `--with-mail-gid=mailman'.
>How-To-Repeat:
shown as above.
>Fix:
Group id should be configured.

 I'm afraid this is a long-running problem, with no clear solution.
 
 I once tried fixing this in the way you describe, and got yelled at.
 When I reverted it, I got yelled at by others :)
 
 I personally don't use Mailman or Postfix, so I can't make this call
 at the moment.
 
 HOPEFULLY someone will step up and offer to maintain Mailman at some
 point and work out this argument.

Group name appears to be a matter for debate with no "correct" answer. 
Changing either way makes people complain :/
