Not sure of examples but if you use 
USERS= me
GROUPS= ${USERS}

When you install, it will first check/install the users. 

If you note:
SHAREOWN=me
SHAREGRP=${SHAREOWN}

It will then install the files with this ownership if you are using the install
macro that use these variables (ie. COPYTREE_SHARE)
  
Take a look at bsd.port.mk. It's all in there.

Hope this helps!
