Hello Brian, You can use the nessus-installer.sh instead of the port. I don't know if it is 5.1 related (i use 4.8).
Also the updatescript for the ported version is using Lynx to retrieve the plugins so you will get the error that it cannot uncompress. Install wget en change Lynx to wget in the nessus-update-plugins script. Hope this works.
