What's the appropriate Makefile-fu to change someport.conf to someport.conf.sample?

Is the following acceptable practice?

pre-configure:
	@${CP} ${WRKSRC}/latd.conf ${WRKSRC}/latd.conf.sample
	@${SED} -i .dist -e 's/sysconf_DATA = latd.conf/sysconf_DATA = latd.conf.sample/' ${WRKSRC}/Makefile.in

`portlint` thinks that it looks fine, for what that's worth :-)
