Yes, but the MTA did not change. Recompiling mailman via ports with  
the same options it had been compiled with before failed  
(WITH_MAIL_GID=mailman). Restoring from backup (which files are gid  
mailman) worked. Same permissions on the mailman executable:

14 -rwxr-sr-x  1 root  mailman  13661 Jun  8  2007 mail/mailman
