I haven't use it, but I noticed that the mtree needs to be update to  
/usr/ports/Templates/BSD.local.dist and we don't use BSD.x11.dist any  
longer. I think it's safe for you to remove that workaround. I think you  
should go with 'make -V MTREE_FILE' instead of hardcore.

You can check auto-plist[1] that I have written to get idea/copy and  
improvement in your one.
