Yes.

First, you break the Good Practices of port making.

Second, you deny your users a part of the general functionality of the
ports collection - ie. packages. Users will be unable to install binary
package from the network, users will be unable to build a package on
their machines and mass-install it on their other computers. You have no
rollback on upgrade, if it should fail.

Plus, you're setting a false impression that other people can get away
with this in their ports.

Now there are methods to have the pkg-plist autogenerated. How hard it
would be?
