You attached the patch, but the list stripped it. I just committed your code 
with 3 minor modifications. 1. I added the ldconfig directories to 
BSD.x11.dist as well as BSD.local.dist. 2. I had to change the 
ldconfig32_local_dirs variable name. The rc.d system requires all variables 
for a given name to be name_foo. 3. s/32-bits/32-bit/.

I also just committed an update to misc/compat[45]x to use this new 
mechanism. I know that you have plans for developing this in bsd.port.mk, 
but as we discussed I think it's useful to start exercising this mechanism, 
and it works great. :)

Thanks again for coming up with this very creative solution.

Doug
