Oh, its the OpenBSD heritage that bites me. OpenBSD has a plist target
which FreeBSD does not. They use a slightly different ports structure
which makes it possible. Normally you dont include the pkg-plist target with
the port, but the idea sounds neat to me, so I think it should be
submitted. If they dont like it they will probably bash us and tell us
why.

The build-package target is normally not included either. But the idea
is nice again, so include it and see what happens.

Start the submission process yourself. I think its easier that way as an
update is no more than some editing of pkg-plist and Makefile. I can
submit patches to your tree if you need to delegate the task to somebody
else.
