Pkg ignores items in ${STAGEDIR}/var (and probably all of base), so this won't actually make it into a package. In fact, since the creation of the stage dir it won't even make it if installed from a port (as a package is created before being installed). Anything you need created for the port to run that must exist in base such as /var/run/, /var/db/, /var/log/, etc should be handled in the rc script start_precmd so it gets created if necessary just before the daemon is launched.

Just drop something in like

start_precmd=fail2ban_prestart

fail2ban_prestart()
{
    for i in run db; do
        if [ ! -d /var/${i}/fail2ban ]; then
          install -d -o fail2ban /dev/null /var/${i}/fail2ban
        fi
    done
}

(or more verbose, but two actions -- mkdir and then chown)

and then you can remove those MKDIRs in post-install
