ports registering services in /etc/services and services_mkdb

Hi,
during an update to 8.3 I notice mergemaster from 8.3 is
building a database from /etc/services with services_mkdb.
However the ports framework does not provide an automation
to rebuild this database, even I haven't seen any port which
triggers a rebuild.
So my questions:
- should ports take care for rebuilding the database
- should we implement something like USERS/GROUPS for services in bsd.port.mk
- what are the consumers of /var/db/services.db and what is the impact of not rebuilding this database.
