If it's truly shared, then you can use @unexec as the other poster suggested. However, in this case those two directories are not "owned" by the pircbot port (they were not created by it), but belong to the jdk port it depends on. Furtherfurthermore, if you take a look at the log itself you'll find that these directories are incorrectly being REMOVED by the jdk port when they should be left behind (they're defined in BSD.local.dist and are therefore "system" directories). It's a bit unintuitive, but the "extra files" on that webpage that are of the form ./<path> instead of <path> are files that have been mistakenly removed. Finally, I already fixed this problem last week :-) Thanks for your diligence though.
