Yes, if we're going to install stuff in ${DATADIR} no matter whether the 
user (or tinderbox) builds with -DNOPORTDATA, then we need to specify
the files manually. PORTDATA=* won't work, because it won't list any
files if -DNOPORTDATA is set.

This isn't clean anyway.. my suggestion would be to move everything into
${PREFIX}/lib/${PORTNAME} :)

Attached is a proposed revision of the patch to do just that.
