horde ports deinstall bug

The pkg-deinstall script used by many of the horde ports (including but not
limited to imp, kronolith, gollem, ingo, mnemo, nag and turba) does not
respect LHORDEDIR. As a result, the uninstall does not back up config files
if LHORDEDIR was set to anything other than the default value. A portupgrade
will therefore destroy any existing configuration that was not manually
backed up.
A little sed trickery is probably all that would be needed to correct this,
but being only an amateur porter I'm unsure where/how to write this up for a
patch.
I'd like to see this fixed, and I'd be happy to submit a PR (with patches if I
get time to figure out how it all works exactly) if this isn't already a
quick fix for someone more experienced.
Thanks,
JN
