I did not see it anywhere, my bad. I tried searching but had no luck.

These methods both sound good and either should work for me.

In this case since I'm working on a port that has its own uid/gid, is
there a standard practice?

I see different groups in /etc/login.conf for stuff that's part of base,
but nothing for ports.

Seems like the best practice may be to add a pkg README recommending the
user editing /etc/login.conf themselves. Is that correct?
