No it isn't. The only bug I know is when you use FreeBSD-stable + inn +
perl 5.8.
It fails during pkg-install script. This feature exists *only* in
FreeBSD ports. It's here to prevent config files removal.

People who don't want to use predefined FreeBSD ports path, don't use
FreeBSD ports.  Before complaining that it's an idiotic way of thinking
(as we discussed privately), you should have understood how my port
works.
If you only change a line in the Makefile, it will "work" but you gonna
lose all your local changes.
Changing sysconfdir implies:
- pkg-install changes
- plist changes
I always try my best to my ports flexible, adding a knob to allows
config files installation in ${PREFIX}/etc/inn is *very* easy, but it
won't NEVER be the default behavior. Now you just have to wait, until I
can get some free time to deal with this.
