Looking at them briefly...

The FoilTeX do-extract looks suspiciously like it should be a build
target rather than an extract.

Both ports look like you could use %%EXAMPLESDIR%% and %%DOCSDIR%% in
the packing list.

Why is mktexlsr not just run during post-install instead of printing
a message saying one should do so?

The PPower4 port should install its JAR in JAVAJARDIR, as defined by
bsd.java.mk.

Committed.  This one was assigned to a committer up until a couple
days ago, so its unlikely anyone would have looked at it until then.
