What is the naming convention for etc/periodic/*/* files installed
by ports?

Looking over the ports tree, I see that most adhere to the
NNN.*name* pattern also used in the base system, although it's
unclear how the NNN numbers are assigned and the rest of the name
is somewhat flexible.

The lone exception is sysutils/smartmontools, which installs
etc/periodic/daily/smart.
