I would certainly shed no tears if these went away.

OTOH, I can see a use for them in pkg_create, to
set the mode/owner/group in the resulting tarball.
This would be good when building a package from a
port while running as non-root user.

Of course, we could also do this from the mtree
description at either package creation time (reading
the mtree description and using it to set file properties
in the tarball) or package install time (using the
mtree description to set the final file properties
on disk).
