Okay, but how do I package this directory then?  What entry would
I put in pkg-plist?

Hmm, actually, this

  @owner uucp
  @group uucp
  @mode 770
  @dirrmtry /var/spool/bsmtp
  @mode
  @group
  @owner

produces the desired entry in the package's tar archive

drwxrwx---  0 uucp   uucp        0 Nov  1 23:07 /var/spool/bsmtp/

However, I'm not sure if I'm using this as intended or if it just
happens to work out.
