Who says? /usr/local/share is but not /usr. In fact /usr/local/ is
suppose to be, well, local. If you want to share that then deal with it
yourself because it's a site defined area.
On the flipside, there's kind of a FreeBSD layout imposed on /usr/local
for those who wish to make use of it and perhaps some re-organisation might
be made to allow per host configuration areas for those who want to nfs
export the packages installed there.
