I think it should work, I used to write the same in audio/shoutcast. Are 
you testing by installing from port or from package? It should work for 
ports but for packages, you need some more magic in pkg-plist. You can 
also refer to audio/shoutcast how it is done there. Maybe is it what you 
missed?
