Uh -- is it actually possible to create an empty directory when installing from
a pkg tarball?

I ran into this problem with the phpMyAdmin port, and the only good way I found
to solve it was to add a stub file into any empty directories.  You could use a 
post install script or an mtree file, but that seems like overkill for such a
trivial operation.
