I don't know a solution on this way yet I've submitted an PR (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=29939), which change the default install to root only (and display a security risc warning) . The Makefile has also a "enable-nonroot" target to change the Filemodes and create the group "cdwrite".
