I don't know FreeBSD that well but I'd guess there's no group called
root and that's what's causing the error. Assuming that is the case, I
don't know how you'd fix it programmatically (there's probably an
option
to configure that will do it) but you could manually change the line

INIT_OPTS=-o root -g root

in the Makefile to something more appropriate.

Having installed Nagios on a FreeBSD 6.2 server only yesterday, I just
changed that Makefile line to...
 
INIT_OPTS=-o root -g wheel
 
This then matches other FreeBSD init scripts as well.
