You do not want to set a umask.  Well, actually, you probably
do, for your own benefit, but that is not how you should fix
the port.

To fix the port, you should specify an explicit "mode" that
each file should be installed with.  If you look in the Makefile
for some other ports, you will probably see things like:

      $(INSTALL) -m $(SOMETHING) name name $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)

The '-m' will set the mode of the files as they are installed.

(this is in the makefile for the program itself, ie, inside the
work/* directory -- not the makefile at the "port level").
