Hi Joseph,
Your best bet is to use plist keywords. See
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/plist-keywords.html
for details.
You can set owner/group on individual files in the pkg-plist:
@(ownername,groupname,444) path/to/file
Or you can set it on a block of files:
@group groupname
@owner ownername
path/to/file1
path/to/file2
