I sent a long mail about this to ports once or twice without comment. I'll dig it up, post it for more comments, and unless someone speaks up, will add it to the porters-handbook. Basically, I suggest use ${PREFIX}/www/data.default for web content, ${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin.default for CGIs, and use your application name after them. Another option is the one Horde uses - see ports/www/horde, but I recommend that only for something big and infrastructural like Horde. Examples using data.default are my ports phpMyAdmin, phpPgAdmin, achievo, and olgeni's phpgroupware. phpnuke follows the horde/imp example. I can't access much non-South African Internet at the moment, so I'll look into the PR when I can.
