No. The port does as part of it's normal build process. It uses it to
dynamically build the plist.

I'd suggest that David provide the options he used to build and any
existing packages installed on his system. When I made the update to
this port with the maintainer I was unable to provoke this behavior.

Lastly, it is always a good idea to include the maintainer on these
kinds of mails. The maintainer is going to be one of the best sources of
information on a port. I've included Joseph on this email.
