When trying to install the binary downloaded from tenable.com -
Nessus-4.4.1-fbsd8-amd64.tbz using pkg_add it says I need to enable more bpf

started it errors out on 'libz.so.5 not found'. FreeBSD 9 is at libz.so.6.
First, nessus 4 is closed source proprietary software. The version of
nessus in ports is version 2 which is open source. I think you may
have a square peg round hole problem with nessus 4. If you want to
run that, you would need to use fbsd8 as that is what it is compiled
against.
As for nessus 2 from ports, did you install the package for it, or did
you compile it? If you compiled it, there should not be a problem.
configure should find zlib just fine.
Security Monitoring'. Maybe I need to fall back to FreeBSD 8.2 in order to
be successful? Are there other security tools which build without error on
FreeBSD 9?
Keep in mind that 9 is beta. So, if you are interested in things
"just working" use 8.2. If you are willing to spend the time beta
testing, then use 9.

Good Day;
I was warned about not posting to freebsd-ports but I had already hit
the 'send' button. I am familiar with beta versus production but I
wanted to try nessus on FreeBSD 9 because 9-beta2 was already installed,
and updated and appears to have such wonderful features. The
/usr/ports/misc/compat8 suggestion appears to have been the answer. The
daemon is running now. The company will purchase Nessus for Business
but I have to prove it first. I am just grateful that tenable has
continued to offer it on something other than windows.
I will try and make my future posts to the proper mailing list.
Thank You,
Michael
