I can't think of any off-hand.. this would only affect ports that
don't respect hier(7) and install in somewhere other than
/usr/local/lib or /usr/X11R6/lib (and are thus technically "broken"
anyway).

My only concern is if someone does something boneheaded like
a suitable chown or chmod, but it's a very minor concern, probably
insignificant.
