The empty directories are the folders where Pivot stores upload images
and generated archives. These needs to be created up front (with the
correct permissions) because (currently) Pivot is *not* intelligent enough to 
create these directories on the fly.

1) I did follow
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-testing.html
and "pkg_add pivot-weblog" does work. Did you even test? *I* did...
2) I didn't use the unexec/exec trick for pkg-plist because I also
need to set the permissions correctly.
3) Did you look at files/pkg-install.in It is run when using pkg_add
according to my testing and the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/pkg-install.html
And as I said, in 2 above, I need to do it this way because then I can
set the permissions correctly.
