Changing this > behaviour would make the FreeBSD the sore thumb of the Munin ports ;-) I remember these previous discussions and accept that it would take some work to make munin-node ports-conformant, but unfortunately, it's not easy to exclude this port from the standard package checks (no other packages need that), which means it will have to stay listed as a "broken" port for now because of these extra files.
