Note: all packages being created via package-recursive are created via
package-noinstall, and because the pkg-plist is referring to files and
directories which don't exist when install is run, the call will
always fail:

[gcooper at bayonetta ~]$ sudo make -C /usr/ports/textproc/docbook-420/
package-noinstall

    There's some sort of strange interaction with these ports
(textproc/docbook*) that I'm currently looking at.
Thanks,
