I would suggest:

in Makefile:

pre-install:
        if ! pw groupshow www; then pw groupadd www -g 80; fi
        if ! pw usershow www; then pw useradd www -g www -u 80 \
                -h - -d /nonexistent -s /nonexistent -c "Webserver Daemon"; fi

in pkg-plist:

@exec if ! pw groupshow www 2>/dev/null; then pw groupadd www -g 80; fi
@exec if ! pw usershow www 2>/dev/null; then pw useradd www -g www -u 80 -h - -d /nonexistent -s /nonexistent -c "Webserver Daemon"; fi
@unexec if pw usershow www | grep -q 80:80; then pw userdel www; fi
@comment (removed by userdel) pw groupdel www

Features:
+ No extra scripts.
+ this will preserve existing UID/GID

Drawbacks:
- Must be done and tested in two locations

Suggestions of cause welcome.

kind regards Dirk
