I am not sure I understand situation you describe. As I see, there is a
step in bsd.port.mk when directories are created (and symlinks we discuss
too, just few lines later). Even with your patch, they will be created in
exact the same place in bsd.port.mk - i.e. I see no difference in
before/after installing the port situation with your patch or without it.
Please explain the difference.
