FreeBSD Port: shared-mime-info-0.15_1

Something is wrong with the installation of this port.  It bombs out 
because:

Directory '/usr/X11R6/share/mime/packages' does not exist!

The installation is not creating this directory, and when the port is 
upgraded or deinstalled, that directory is removed.  Manually creating 
that directory fixes the installation problem.

Here is a snippit of the error:

make  install-data-hook
for mdir in /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/mime  /usr/local/share/gnome/mime  
/usr/X11R6/share/mime  /usr/local/share/mime  /usr/share/mime; do  if [ 
-d ${mdir} ]; then  "/usr/local/bin/update-mime-database" "${mdir}" ;  
fi;  done
