If a directory is listed in PORTDOCS or matched by a glob pattern from
this variable, the entire subtree of contained files and directories
will be registered in the final packing list.

Basically, PORTDOCS=* is the same as including find `make -V DOCSDIR`
in the pkg-plist, without the plist bloat and complication.
