 * When the packages are created, and subsequently installed, will empty
 * directories be recreated?  One user used pkg_add emacs20, and
 * evidently the directory /usr/local/share/emacs/20.3/leim (which is
 * empty) was not created.  Emacs mkdir's this at install time, and
 * issues a diagnostic if it is not found at run time, but if leim (an
 * optional component of Emacs) is not installed the directory remains
 * empty.

bsd.port.mk or the package tools don't (can't) do anything about it.
Please add some "@exec mkdir -p"s to the PLIST and send-pr the patch.
