After converting the Makefile for staging you can create an initial
pkg-plist using "make makeplist".  Later you can also check for missing
items using "make check-orphans".

Would this work:

@owner www
@group www
www/magento/media/foo/bar
@mode 0777
@dirrm www/magento/media/foo
@dirrm www/magento/media
@dirrm www/magento
@owner
@group
@mode
other/files
@dirrm and/directories
