port-mac68k: xload from ftp.macbsd.com

I got the tarball of xload from ftp.macbsd.com, then did the following as 
root:

% cd /usr
% tar zxvpf /root/xload.NetBSD.m68k.tar.gz

Switched back to a non-root user, and got the following:

% rehash
% xload
<the window comes up, sits for a moment, then closes>
Load Widget: /dev/mem: Permission denied
xload: cannot get access to kernel address space getValue

As root, it works fine, however.  I untarred it with -p, obviously, and 
the permissions on /dev/mem and /dev/kmem look like this:

crw-r-----  1 root  kmem    2,   1 Jul 30 18:22 /dev/kmem
crw-r-----  1 root  kmem    2,   0 Jul 30 18:22 /dev/mem

Any ideas?
