Hi !
Could we perhaps fix that from within bsd.ports.mk ? Any ideas ?

Subject: Port Question : ghostscript-4.01
After installing ghostscript-4.01 I was left with a partially working
system. I was able to ghostscript anything that didn't require a font.
ie, I could print graphics, but GS would die if asked to use any fonts. I
found the source of the problem. It turns out that my
/usr/share/lib/ghostscript/font director was mode 750, and users couldn't
read it. All the files (the fonts) in the directory were 640 too. Of
course, the users couldn't read the font files.
Once I fixed the perms on these, gs started working beautifully. I
thought I should mention this to you, as this install was done over a
stock current system. Although my umask was improperly set (I know find),
is there a way to make the port check, and or fix that?
Sorry to be a bother.
