State-Changed-Why: 
Whoops, wrong state last time. Sorry.

There are 2 issues here. First, syslogd wasn't running. so
when an attempt was made to send a signal to it, it couldn't
find the PID file, producing the first 2 lines of error
messages. Why syslogd died is not clear, and may not be an issue
with more recent systems which are more stable.

The second probably is a bug in makewhatis, in your case it seemed
to think that it needed a /usr/X11R6/man. Can you still reproduce the
problem on any more recent versions of FreeBSD?
