Please re-read Porter's Handbook:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html

It says a port must install all its files under ${PREFIX} only (/usr/local by default).
There is DATADIR for such shared files (expanded to PREFIX/share/PORTNAME).
You should install it there using INSTALL_DATA macro and use %%DATADIR%% in the pkg-plist,
so it gets to /usr/local/share/mkdesktop/ assuming you name your port "mkdesktop".
