FWIW, I've tweaked the wording a bit so it's as short as before now.
This is what is in CVS now:

 	yui% make
 	===> graphviz-1.12 has an unacceptable license: graphviz-license.
 	===>     To view the license, enter "/usr/bin/make show-license".
 	===>     To indicate acceptance, add this line to your /etc/mk.conf:
 	===>     ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=graphviz-license
 	*** Error code 1
