Is pkg-install the best solution?

Greetings,
I'm working with a port that [conditionally] requires
creating/setting a UID && GID. Following is my approach
for a pkg-install. But would simply setting them as
USERS=
GROUPS=
in Makefile be a better approach?
pkg-install:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/sbin
if [ -z "${WRAP_USER}" ]; then
WRAP_USER=myapp
fi
case $2 in
PRE-INSTALL)
UID=181
GID=${UID}
if [ ! -d "${MYAPP_DIR}" ]; then
mkdir -p ${MYAPP_DIR}
fi
if pw user show "${WRAP_USER}" 2>/dev/null; then
echo "You already have a user \"${WRAP_USER}\", so I will use it."
if pw usermod ${WRAP_USER} -d ${MYAPP_DIR}
then
echo "Changed home directory of \"${WRAP_USER}\" to \"${MYAPP_DIR}\""
else
"${MYAPP_DIR}\" failed..."
exit 1
fi
else
if pw useradd ${WRAP_USER} -u ${UID} \
-d ${MYAPP_DIR} -s /sbin/nologin -c "MyApp Daemon"
then
echo "Added user \"${WRAP_USER}\"."
else
echo "Adding user \"${WRAP_USER}\" failed..."
exit 1
fi
fi
