It looks, from your reply, that you've used the example anacrontab(5)
but did not add your /usr/local/bin/script to it.  If so, that's why
the script isn't being run by anacron.

Please follow up, if needed, to ports@ rather than misc@. Anacron is a
third party package and is not part of the base system.
