I have "argued" with martin@tradex.sk over this particular thing before, and finally we came to an agreement. The port does NOT violate LOCALBASE. There is nothing at all installed outside LOCALBASE. The original author of the software coded it so that its config file is read from /etc. This behavior needs to remain in tact--in the case where people share /usr/local across several machines, it does not make sense to have a configuration file that is "shared." A "sample" of the configuration file is installed under LOCALBASE and pkg-message displays instructions for the user to copy this to /etc/ and edit to taste. The only other thing that Martin and I agreed on was the pkg-message.in mechanism (he said that installing it from a package didn't print the proper PREFIX). I told him that I would do that, but I just haven't gotten around to submitting a patch--at the time we were discussing the changes, the ports tree was being frozen for 4.9 (is it still frozen or what?). Simultaneously, I got "busy" with Real Life(tm). If the ports tree is unfrozen, I can whip up the changes that martin and I agreed upon (he wants a .ifdef "knob" for the local configuration override) and hopefully send in a PR within the next several days modulo my busy-ness. That PR would invalidate this ports/56517. When I send-pr the new one, I will contact you or the committer who does that PR and tell them to close ports/56517 out as "no longer valid."
