I am not aware of anything. But if you already have "stuff" creating a big hierarchy with many users and groups, it may be easier to adapt "stuff" to generate a pkg-plist file, or maybe to split your ports into smaller, more manageable bits. make makeplist will give you a correct listing of files and directories, but as everything runs as a regular user, it cannot be aware of the users/groups you intend on using in the plist. -- Mathieu Arnold
