There is no special procedure for testing ports - the test for missing files 
in pkg-plist is part of the (real) package building procedure. 

PACAKGE_BUILDING is set in global environment on the package build clusters 
machines ...

... all the time. And of course every user is free to set it in his 
environment or his /etc/make.conf as well - for example if he wants to use 
portupgrade/portinstall -p to build himself a cache of packages.
