Yes, you're right, and it works for us and I can imagine many situations
people change default umask. But IMHO it doesn't make sense for
ports/packages as installing them with non-default umask effectively
renders them unusable. Therefore it seems to me that either ignoring
umask or at least warning people umask is changed would be correct in
this case.
