I would start by comparing the contents of /usr/ports/GIDs with the ports
you have installed (as listed in /var/db/pkg). You can get a stock group
file from src/etc/group. Reinstalling ports will recreate the groups they
use (though you could do most of it manually), and you may be on your own
for any custom groups you have.

Hi,
Yesterday night at 1 a.m. I have managed to remove /etc/groups (rm
instead of vi, was already sleepying). Luckily only a few groups (2-3)
was created earlier. No backup, "of course".
I believe the file system is still correct, it uses group IDs instead
of names (?). Though ls does not show the correct group names (only
IDs) and creating new groups will reuse the old group IDs.
Is there any better way of rebuilding /etc/groups than guessing and
manually adding one-by-one.
Can I somehow list all group IDs used by the file system?
Many thanks.

/var/backups might have various backups of those important files.
Might want to tcheck that out.
