I just installed www/joomla25 and get this:
Code:
[/ports/www/joomla25]# grep \$FreeBSD Makefile
# $FreeBSD: www/joomla25/Makefile 316691 2013-04-27 20:49:53Z nivit $
[/ports/www/joomla25]# lc /usr/local/www/
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 20 www www - 512B May 22 23:55:10 2013 joomla/

Because of these restricted permissions the Joomla configuration, done through the Joomla web-based PHP code, fails.

IMHO this is what you want, the configuration phase is a special case, in normal operation, the webserver should be able to write as little as possible, or preferably nothing, to your document root (ie. /usr/local/www).
You should compare the PHP files in /usr/local/www/joomla/ to your /bin/ directory. /bin/ isn't writable by users or daemons, they can only read and execute files, why should this be different?
