There's no WRKSRC directory when a package is installed.

I've had a look at sguil-server and you have two options. The first
one is to install your sql script somewhere under ${DATADIR} then read
it from there in your pkg-install script. The second, better in my
opinion, is to move most of your POST-INSTALL target into a shell
script of its own that you'll install in ${DATADIR} (note that it
still requires to install that sql file as well). Quick look shows
that your port is interactive, and not marked as such in Makefile. If
you choose to go with solution #1, then you'll have to set
IS_INTERACTIVE=yes (unless I'm wrong of course).
