That was my take to, but why can it not make that directory?  I tried
the `hand' method you suggest before posting and am running the
commands as root.  

The files that do get created look like they have the right
permissions:
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Jul 14 03:57 /usr/local/www
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  512 Jul 14 03:57 www/webglimpse
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Jul 14 03:57 www/webglimpse/dist
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Jul 14 03:57 www/webglimpse/lib

Sorry it was not clear in my post.  The FreeBSD ports mechanism is
where the make and make install are called.  The ports mechanism calls
./wginstall.  As indicated below with asterisks.
