I'm wondering why it's not enough to create a post-extract that doesn't 
something
like
cd ${WRKSRC}/some/dir && ${CHOWN} -R ${WWUSER}:${WWGROUP} .
Then the ports framework would create an appropriate pkg-plist based on that. 
A
make -DBATCH makeplist would generate your target pkg-plist.

I'm paraphrasing, as I don't have your Makefile. But I've needed to perform 
tasks
like myself. Out of curiosity. What does a make -DBATCH makeplist generate? 
Does
the output provide the necessary clues to create a pkg-plist you're 
interested in?
