The sample entry in the default squid.conf, from which I hope you were
reading, says that the syntax is:

auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/ncsa_auth /usr/local/etc/passwd

So I am wondering where you got yours from ;)

Try this:

auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/ncsa_auth /usr/local/etc/squid/passwd
auth_param basic children 5
uth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours

Read the sample squid.conf to know what those optionw will do.

cd /usr/ports/www/squid
make config && make install

Sure, you simply did not read and pay attention to the already given
examples.
