Lately Fernan Aguero told:

yes. see /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:
# INSTALL_PROGRAM - A command to install binary executables.
# INSTALL_SCRIPT - A command to install executable scripts.
# INSTALL_DATA - A command to install sharable data.
# INSTALL_MAN - A command to install manpages (doesn't compress).
using these and ${MKDIR} should work fine (and set permissions
correctly).
please don't access work/package-name; instead go with ${WRKSRC}

# DOCSDIR - Name of the directory to install the packages docs in
# EXAMPLESDIR - Name of the directory to install the packages examples in
# DATADIR - Name of the directory to install the packages shared data
these directories have to be ${MKDIR}'ed
so: your models and scripts go to ${DATADIR}, docs go to ${DOCSDIR} and
examples go to ${EXAMPLESDIR}
