I'm running mailman on FreeBSD 7-RELENG installed through ports, also  
with postscript.

The ports install process does not configure your apache configuration  
file.  You still need to do that by hand.

Did you follow the instructions in

  /usr/local/share/doc/mailman/FreeBSD-post-install-notes  ?

As already pointed out.  Mailman pages don't use JavaScript.  Are you  
certain that you are really seeing the mailman pages?  Or maybe this  
is coming from the browser?  What browser are you using?
