 * Is /usr/local/share/doc/<package name>/ the correct place for ASCII
 * documents, such as readme's, for a particular port?

Yes.

 * The hier man page doesn't specify anything for the local tree so I 
 * thought that I'd better check.  

Sorry.  It's in the handbook.... ;)

 * When creating this directory would it be better to use the -p option?

You can use "${MKDIR}" in your pre-install target.  That already
includes -p.
