After reviewing the source, @sample will not work for you.  You'll
need to create an @sysconftool  keyword:

${PORTSDIR}/Keywords/sysconftool.yaml
# $FreeBSD$
#
# MAINTAINER: ?
#
# @sysconftool etc/somefile.conf.dist
#
# This will install/upgrade the somefile.conf using the somefile.conf.dist.
# On deinstall it will remove the somefile.conf if it still matches the
# dist file, otherwise it is kept.
#
# This replaces the old pattern:
#  @unexec if cmp -s %D/etc/pkgtools.conf %D/etc/pkgtools.conf.dist;
then rm -f %D/etc/pkgtools.conf; fi
#  etc/pkgtools.conf.dist
#  @exec [ -f %D/etc/courier/courierd.dist ] &&
%%LOCALBASE%%/share/sysconftool/sysconftool
%D/etc/courier/courierd.dist
actions: [file]
post-install: |
  dist_file="%D/%@"
  if [ -f "${dist_file}" ]; then
    %%LOCALBASE%%/share/sysconftool/sysconftool "${dist_file}"
  fi
pre-deinstall: |
  dist_file="%D/%@"
  target_file="${dist_file%.dist}"
  if cmp -s "${target_file}" "${dist_file}"; then
    rm -f "${target_file}"
  fi

The only ting I'm not sure of is how to deal with is LOCALBASE, as the
sysconftool port could be installed in a location other than
/usr/local.
