I think you're still off base.  For example, it also looks like you're
overlooking slave ports that inherit their pkg-plist from their master
port, which is also legitimate (the PLIST* variable is defined in the
make environment via .include).  

If there were ports truly without pkg-plists, they'd show up on the
package builds.
