Normally for empty directories : you add to the plist:
@exec mkdir -p %D/path/to/empty
@dirrm path/to/empty

USE_FAKE can't solve this, but would prevent from forgetting to do
such things, you also won't have a method for the ports (in the
Makefile)
and a method for the package.

The installation being always done by installing the package, porters
should only take care of the way the package does it : install
scripts, user creation etc.
