Add a request to the PR you send in with the updates to your port, including the text you'ld like to have added to UPDATING. Unless it's completely frivolous or contentious or otherwise unsuitable most ports committers would happily add the message to UPDATING for you. I find it's also a good idea to add a warning about such things to any pkg_message printed out at install time.
