This is the de facto to way to do it. Something is wrong on your system.

Can you run in the port dir and show results?

  make -V RIAK_DBDIR -V PLIST_SUB

Also, can you show the exact error you get when using "@dirrmtry
%%RIAK_DBDIR%% at the end of the plist?

Also for the pkg-list you should use %%ETCDIR%% in place of "etc/riak"
lines.
