Especially the file
/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.conf, is it
unmodified from what the port installs? There should be a .sample file
you can try a diff from.

The file isn't there at all, it is simply missing (for whatever
reason). Even reinstalling polkit before obiously didn't produce it.
Anyway, now I just copied over the .sample file manually, restarted...
and everything is working again as expected.

Sometimes wild guesses do reach the point!

After pondering about this a bit more, I found the following note when
reinstalling polkit once more:

---
[1/1] Extracting polkit-0.118: 100%
You may need to manually remove
/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.conf if it is no
longer needed.

And indeed, the file is gone again. So the state of the system above was
as designed (whithout the file), but it didn't work for me. So something's
fishy here. Either the system should work without the file, or the message
is wrong.



That message is a standard message from pkg about configuration files. Any file marked as a configuration file in the port will trigger that message when the port is removed (upgrading entails removing the port and reinstalling).

pkg should leave the file there and only modify the .sample one on upgrade. It simply informs you you can remove configuration files for software you no longer use.

Don't know why you end up missing the file. It should definitely be there and is needed as long as you use polkit.
