Hi Adam,

you can still use the pkg-install script for this tasks.

The difference with staging is pkg-install will be will be executed
automatically during 'make install' or pkg_install/pkg install but
not during 'make stage'.

Additional you can remove the the following from the Makefile

post-install:
       @${SH} ${PKGINSTALL} ${DISTNAME} POST-INSTALL


Take a look into net-mgmt/nagvis/files/pkg-install.in to see
a strict WWWDIR permission setter.
