If you do, you may find the sample file gets listed twice, or worse the actual config file gets listed. If you want to view the final generated plist then in the normal ports directory: % make package % less `make -VTMPPLIST` (those are backticks). It's probably harmless to have a file listed twice, but if you list the actual config file it gets blown away on each update.
