You mean during fake stage? Well, the user is created add install
time, i.e. when you run pkg_add(8) or make install.
At least I can't build it here because it tries to chown some stuff
to _news during fake.

Unfortunately, Deannas port seems to be unavailable.

Some nits:
* COMMENT doesn't need quotes any longer.
* --with-etc-dir=${PREFIX}/share/examples/inn looks wrong, it should be
set to ${SYSCONFDIR}/news or similar. Same vor --with-db-dir, let
it point to /var/news/db. Funny enough, looking at my own old
port, I see lots of fishy things there, too, e.g. using ${LOCALBASE}
instead of ${PREFIX} in setting CONFIGURE_ARGS.
* your patch-Makefile_global_in looks strange, too. I'm not sure wether
WRKINST is guaranteed to be in the environment or passed to make.
In general, if you want to override things like DESTDIR, try to
add them to the environment, using MAKE_ENV or MAKE_FLAGS resp.
FAKE_FLAGS depending on your needs before starting to patch things.

Well, years ago I used to use a much older version of INN, on a
leaf site, with UUCP, so I'm not of the biggest help here until I
get the time to read all the documentation.

That's no problem, we've other ports that need suid.
