I'll try this evening.

Not so much problem in fact, as rdoc files always install into the
well-known location. It'd be much simpler than to rebuild pkg-plist
of all ports by hand to comply with new sort scheme. Personally,
I don't like an idea of putting files with dynamically generated
names into pkg-plist at all.
