hrm - this is usually something i offload to my configuration mgmt tool
of choice but it got me thinking.  i re-read the porter's handbook for
freebsd and sure enough it looks like this could be scripted.  i think
if we drop a file named "post-install" in
/usr/ports/security/tor-devel/files/ we could script this stuff.  i am
thinking this is akin to %post directives in RPM spec files (if you've
ever had the misfortune of working with RPM's).

the question though is this something that is frowned upon or not.  i
don't see too many instances of post-* scripts in the ports tree, so
either this isn't a common requirement or is something that is avoided
for other reasons.  would love to have the time to dig into this myself
but unfortunately i'm oversubscribed as-is already :/

cheers,
