>Description:

port math/R-letter (and its slave port math/R-a4) installs
7801 data files in ${PREFIX}/lib.

hier(7) says:

lib/      archive libraries
libdata/  misc. utility data files

bsd.port.mk suggests:

# DATADIR - Name of the directory to install the packages shared data
#           in (default: ${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME}).

When we are here, the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook says:
  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html#PORTING-PKGNAME

The first letter of [PORTNAME] should be lowercase.

R-letter and R-a4 should be marked as conflicting (CONFLICTS=R-a4-1.*, CONFLICTS=R-letter-1.*)

>How-To-Repeat:

grep ^lib/ /usr/ports/math/R-letter/pkg-plist

>Fix:

Install the data files into ${DATADIR}?
