The reason it is different for ports is because we cannot know up-front what
software might user have installed and ergo what logs should be rotated by
newsyslog(8).  For the base, we know these pieces (albeit packaging the base
could probably benefit from the same generic approach, if we ever start to
support 3rd-party "base" packages).
