I've had the same problem. Not with irssi, but with other pieces of
software from the ports collection. I've just gotten into the habit of
running `umask 0022` before I use portmaster, then `umask 0077`
afterwords. I don't think there's any way to automatically run a
certain command/script before compiling or installing a port.
