games/bsdgames/pkg-plist:

@sample(,games,0664) /var/games/atc_score.sample
@sample(,games,0664) /var/games/battlestar.log.sample
@sample(,games,0664) /var/games/cfscores.sample
...

security/acme.sh/pkg-plist:

@sample(acme,acme,0640) /var/db/acme/.acme.sh/account.conf.sample

Many other examples exist.  It's somewhat common to install files and
directories into /var.

Yours,
