OK, I'm a little out-of-date re: this stuff.  :-)

However, doing a subsequent scan of Makefiles turned up a large number
of them that don't define any PLIST* variables.

In other words, the ports tree is rather inconsistent in this area, it
seems.  The majority of ports still do have pkg-plist files, some have
PLIST* variables defined, some don't.

I don't know what would be the preferred resolution to all of this, but
it *is* a little disturbing, don't you think?
