 * Is this the "right" way to do this, or should it be done by bsd.port.mk?
 * (Asking for my own reference)

As a policy, bsd.port.mk doesn't run any of the scripts in pkg/ during
installation.  There are too many of them, some of which run twice,
and there just aren't enough hooks in the framework to put them in.
Also it's sometimes not obvious exactly when they should be run (there 
are already so many things done in _PORT_USE).
