here's what I do these days on FreeBSD:

cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman
make install
make clean

then follow the final configuration steps from the Mailman install
instructions to set up your lists.  it creates the users and groups as
necessary.  worked like a charm the first time i tried it two months
ago.  upgrades work just as easily with the portupgrade utility.
