Yes, you're right, and it works for us and I can imagine many situations 
people change default umask.  But IMHO it doesn't make sense for 
ports/packages as installing them with non-default umask effectively 
renders them unusable.  Therefore it seems to me that either ignoring 
umask or at least warning people umask is changed would be correct in 
this case.
