I am not aware of anything.  But if you already have "stuff" creating a
big hierarchy with many users and groups, it may be easier to adapt
"stuff" to generate a pkg-plist file, or maybe to split your ports into
smaller, more manageable bits.

make makeplist will give you a correct listing of files and
directories, but as everything runs as a regular user, it cannot be
aware of the users/groups you intend on using in the plist.
