Note that we already have a conventional approach to this "problem".
See section 15.18 of the Porter's Handbook.
However, a "more standard" approach would be nice. How something like
this proposal, inspired by the way the ports system currently handles
set[ug]id files and files installed in ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d (Thanks
Kris!). (I'm too lazy to make an actual patch, use your imagination.)
# Example config files go here
PORTCONFDIR=${PREFIX}/share/examples/${PORTNAME}/conf
# A la .PLIST.startup and .PLIST.setuid
${GREP} '^${PORTCONFDIR}' ${TMPPLIST} > ${WRKDIR}/.PLIST.config
if [ -s "${WRKDIR}/.PLIST.config" ]; then
echo "===> CONFIGURATION FILES"
echo " This port has installed the following sample configuration"
echo " files. Please copy them to the correct location and edit"
echo " accordingly."
${CAT} ${WRKDIR}/.PLIST.config
