Why not tackle this in a similar manner to the Postfix port - after 
installing (provided we're not in a non-interactive build), we prompt:

     Do you wish to activate stats reporting in /etc/periodic.conf [n]? y
     Do you wish to report your installed hardware?
     Would you like to submit your systems stats now?

or something along those lines. This would make it much easier than 
people installing the port and neglecting to set the appropriate lines, 
effectively achieving nil ;-)
