In case the port defines USERS and GROUPS from ports/(U|G)IDs, then
this GROUPS/USERS are created in a early step during port / packet
installation and they are available before pkg-plist is processed.

USERS=	$user (list) from UIDs
GROUPS=	$group (list) from GIDs

In case the port requires user / group not in UIDs/GIDs then request
an entry for them.
