Actually, in terms of licensing, I believe it is quite alright to add DansGuardian among OpenBSD ports. On the bottom of the second link you provide, one can read a FAQ as follows:
"So, if Debian puts DG on their website, they have to restrict downloads to non commercial users, right? "No, not right. Once you have a copy of a GPL app, no one can put any (non-GPL) restrictions on it - not even me the author. I can ask people to pay for downloading DG, but once its left this site it is under the GPL which means it is free (as in freedom) and free (as in beer - provided they want to give it away for free). GPL means GPL which means no restrictions can be imposed on redistribution so the Debian would treat it as any other GPL app. Of course, should a commercial user want to upgrade his copy of DG he got with Debian by downloading from my site, he would have to pay unless he waited for Debian to release their version. But I am unsure of how a commercial user could sleep at night making illegal downloads from my site and profiting from my years work."
