I assume the error is because tasks.cfg contains this:

Include add-on modules.

directory /usr/pkg/share/xymon/xymonhome/etc/tasks.d

Which doesn't exist.

This directory should be created by "make install" or by the package definition (eg spec file, for RPM-based systems). I'm guessing that the "tasks.cfg" file was updated with the "include" but the installer for BSD was not updated accordingly.

Actually, I think "make install" won't create this subdir either.

Is there documentation on using / setting up tasks.d?

"install.html" is included in the source, and should be in the installed package. You should be able to view it from the menu. Or here: http://xymon.org/xymon/help/install.html
