The script is indeed trivial, and I could commit it as a port, listing you as maintainer. I have just one question: would it be wise to have /var/db/mixer-state removed upon port deinstall, or should it be left behind, just in case? I think it would rather be removed to leave the system cleaner; if it is removed as part of a port update, it will be regenerated at the next shutdown anyway.
