Yes, you need a separate package for each different FreeBSD major version=

You need to enumerate each file in your package separately. 'dir'
entries will create a directory -- frequently one that is left empty.
You don't need to list every directory needed to install all the files
in the package. They are created automatically when the file is
installed. You only need a dir entry if the directory wouldn't
otherwise be created.

It's both. The path is where the file will be put after installation.
It's also where pkg(8) looks for the file in order to package it.
Except that when packaging a file you'ld generally create the installed
layout of files relative to some staging directory so you didn't end up
scribbling all over your system. See the '-r' or '--rootdir' option in
pkg-create(8).
Cheers,
Matthew
