This port is not ready yet. We also need to create the monkeysphere user in the pkg-install and remove it in pkg-deinstall. To do this, this page has useful tips: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/dads-uid-and-gids.html and we'll have to copy scripts from existing ports that are suggested above, see: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/japanese/Wnn6/pkg-install http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/cvsup-mirror/pkg-install or just look around the ports tree for pkg-install files, they are usually for adding users. Finally the pkg-plist needs to be checked. The package hasn't been installed at all once yet, it only patches and builds. The port is therefore marked as IGNORE, which makes it unusable, comment out the IGNORE line in the Makefile to test.
