FreeBSD for technical purposes also packages pyc files. If these for any reason get regenerated by Python on the installed system their checksum mismatches in the health audit, which is a false positive.

You can of course reinstall the package to get rid of the mismatch, but the problem might be back at a later point in time.

Thanks for the explanation, I  thought that this is the problem. However, this is the first time I have received this message since I started using OPNsense. Wouldn't it make sense to exclude the paths from the package or find another workaround?

I think this can be understood as a bug.

It is, but it effectively deals with avoiding a bigger bug of pyc files getting out of sync beween python version upgrades crashing your code.
