Why are you running mgetty?
It looks to me like you've got mgetty installed and starting at boot time,
but you've never configured it. Those error messages are indicative of the
config file that installs with mgetty - it's invalid and has lots of "comments"
to help you configure it properly.
My suggestion would be:
1. Make sure you really need mgetty - if not, either deinstall it or configure
it to not start up on bootup (/etc/ttys)
2. If you need mgetty, configure it properly (/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config
is the one that appears to be the problem here)
