In general, somehow gathering up "critical messages" might be a nice feature 
for ports.

In this case, the default results from the install are (IMHO) particularly 
useless, though, so perhaps instead of it just being a pkg-message, the port 
could actually stop and prompt the user for a decision about whether or not 
to chmod or, at least prompt him to acknowledge that he saw the message?
