Just seeing this post.
Besides remote scanners like nmap you perhaps can run the following script.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# This script detects world-wide writable files that can make the OS unsafe.
# It lists them as shell commands that would do fixes. (Pipe it to sh for execution!)

# No wildcard globbing
set -f

# Safe PATH
export PATH
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

# Get "mtab"
# Seems like a hack but is better portable than df
#
for mtab in /etc/mnttab /etc/mtab /proc/mounts
do
  [ -f $mtab ] && break
done
if [ ! -f $mtab ]
then
  echo "UNKNOWN: no $mtab"
  exit 3
fi

# Knowing that / is the first mounted OS disk,
# get all disks of the same type from mtab
#
awk '$2=="/" {type=$3} $3==type {print $2}' $mtab |
# and process each disk
while read mdir
do
 # only consider directories that belong to a Unix OS
 case $mdir/ in
 //|/tmp/*|/var/*|/usr/*|/opt/*|/etc/*|/dev/*|/stand/*|/boot/*)
  # List world-writable files and directories together with a command that restricts it.
  # Assume that a directory ending with /tmp is a temporary directory: do not descend and set the t bit.
  find "$mdir" -xdev \( -type f -o -type d \! -perm -1000 \) -perm -2 \( -type d -name tmp -prune -exec echo chmod +t {} \; -o -exec echo chmod o-w {} \; \) -o -type d -name tmp -prune
 ;;
 esac
done

I don't have a BSD system, so am interested if it runs at all...
