If I remember correctly, the system installer does create some
directory structure in /usr/local, so it won't be entirely empty
when the OS has been installed; /etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist should
give some information. This file is also handy for preparing a
new ports installation "from scratch" when /usr/local has been
entirely deleted manually.
