What about a post-install target that removes the metadata from WRKDIR?
This way each port along the chain is fooled. Then the only problem is the
extract/patch targets. (If you hardcode WRKSRC, you don't let people set the
working dir outside of the ports hierarchy).
I'm fiddling around with this idea right now, although it may prove in the end
unfeasible. I'll post patches if I think I get something workable together.
