The above may be working properly, the problem could be that the
sources have code in them that installs barnyard2.conf to PREFIX/etc/.
Check the sources Makefile to see if they are installing this file.
If they are, patch them to install the file as the *-sample.

While this works when installing a package, you still need code in the
Makefile to install barnyard2.conf if it doesn't exist when installing
the port.
