this needs to be reported and fixed, as it shouldn't happen. there is a NEED_ROOT option for those ports. I have ben testing them just succesfully myself. if anything breaks just report it. along with the error for you. nedding root to create packages in 2013 is just insane, stage by default is enabled with full process of package creation as a user and alloss to fallback in case kof insane ports.
