Careful doing that!  If you do, you may find the sample file gets listed 
twice, or worse the actual config file gets listed.

If you want to view the final generated plist then in the normal ports 
directory:

% make package
% less `make -VTMPPLIST`

(those are backticks).

It's probably harmless to have a file listed twice, but if you list the 
actual config file it gets blown away on each update.

Chris
