This could be created in the post-install target or in the ${WRKSRC}/Makefile (if it supports DESTDIR).
I had a look at the ${WRKSRC}/Makefile.in and the generated ${WRKSRC}/Makefile, but I didn't see support for DESTDIR in the install section. You will need to fix that so that the port will be able to properly install into the STAGEDIR. You can consider that STAGEDIR is similar to a chroot. When the package is created by either pkg or pkg_create, the files/directories will be relative to / (not to STAGEDIR). -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were maimed while sending this message.
