I thought the directory structure is supposed to be created using
mtree files? The ports collection runs 'mtree' before running the actual
'make install' in the port's working directory; as for pkg_add and
generated packages, they should include a @mtree directive in +CONTENTS
and an +MTREE_DIRS file...

Errr, that's all fine and good, but how about people who still use GNU
tar for various reasons, such as sticking with RELENG_4? :) Or do you
have any plans for MFC'ing libarchive/bsdtar into RELENG_4 (please please
please!), even without making it the default?
