I'll mention that it has come in handy for me in the past. I put it into the category of ident strings in binaries. It has a similar utility. Because I find it useful in maintaining and using a port/package, I've been one that has added it to pkg-plist in the past.
I'm curious about what your use case for the information is. You can always know if you have the latest version of the plist via cvs, c[v]sup, portsnap, etc. Other than knowing that you have the latest version, what utility does the $Id string in the file itself have?
