Yes, this was the problem. The port multimedia/pwcview was not installed
as it conflicts with multimedia/pwcbsd; I deleted this and
multimedia/pwcview works fine;

btw: I only use pwcview to set the frame rate of my cam to 25 before
starting Skype; is there some better way to set it per default to this
value?

Thanks for your hint
