Yeah, I assumed some sort of default rule could be defined in 
bsd.port.mk, up to you.  It should also be set up so that packages
use @exec and @unexec to install info files.  I guess this too
falls on the package maintainer.  Unless I'm wrong, this seems
like a shortcoming of the pkg_create utility.
