Many tools in /bin, /sbin, and /usr/bin belong to the group 'portage' (250) rather than group 0. Disk Utility.app complains about this problem during a "Verify/Repair Disk Permissions" action. The following tools are listed: ... Group differs on ./bin/[, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/cat, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/chmod, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/cp, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/date, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/dd, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/df, should be 5, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/echo, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/expr, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/link, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/ln, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/ls, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/mkdir, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/mv, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/pwd, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/rm, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/rmdir, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/sleep, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/stty, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/sync, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/test, should be 0, group is 250 Group differs on ./bin/unlink, should be 0, group is 250 ...

Normally those files are not installed by portage, unless you disabled collision-protect. In the latter case you're on the progressive profile. Closing as invalid, as I think this is not really caused by 'normal' usage... :)
I didn't think I was using a progressive profile: profiles/default-darwin/macos/10.4. Collision-protect is enabled. Something screwy happened. Even if I did use a progressive profile, shouldn't the ownership on these files be changed to g:root regardless? I'll poke this one a bit more and post back if I find anything.
