FWIW: I agree with the chorus: a) /usr/local is not needed for packages
to work
b) /usr/share/doc implicitly means that
the documentation is put together by the
FreeBSD Documentation Project (since
FreeBSD it otherwise generally incapable
of producing documentation :-)
There doesn't seem to be a good reason to violate POLA here.

Only for people who install all of en, es, ja, ru, and zh. :)
Perhaps one day it may even move to /usr/share/doc-en_US.ISO_8859-1/,
and so on, since the doc subdir would ideally contain only one entry
(minus symlinks): es_ES.iso_8859-1/ (or whatever the local language
is)?
