Like Matthew said, INSTALL_DATA is for installing one file, not a
directory hierarchy, this is done using COPYTREE_SHARE. As a side not,
we never use CP -R to install files.

Now, I'm seeing something else that is a bad idea, it is using the -o
flag.  Ports must build as a regular user.  A regular user will not be
able to change the owner of the files.  This must be done in the
pkg-plist file, using @owner/@group as described in the Porter's
Handbook:
