The ports system uses mtree to generate a directory skeleton for
/usr/local and /usr/X11R6.  The main world build uses it to generate a
directory skeleton for the OS.  Basically, the files in /etc/mtree list
the common directories that make up a FreeBSD installation for each of
the major components.
