Traceroute apparently needs to be installed as root with the setuid bit, judging from the Makefile.

Does adding the line "install_asroot yes" to the portfile help?

install_asroot does not seem to exist: 

Failed to parse file net/traceroute/Portfile: invalid command name "install_asroot"

Did you mean install.asroot ? I am not root on this system so it won't change anything though.

Replying to rudloff@…:

Yes I suppose I did.

Ah.
