Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Hm, the readme explains:

 {{{
 The official Linux binary is set up to run setgid games, which allows
 multiple users on your system to play the game and prevents cheating by
 unprivileged users.  The usual default for NetHack is setuid games, but
 this causes problems with accessing .nethackrc on distributions with
 restrictive default security on home directories and users who don't know
 the tradeoffs of various permission settings.
 }}}

 So now I'm not sure if the port should be changed.
