I may try later today on i386 if I have time.

Probably because there is no ${PLIST_ARCH}. You probably meant to use
${MACHINE_ARCH} there?

It depends. If it can be freely downloaded, and the license clearly
permits re-distribution of the orginal and re-packaged versions (which
would be unusual for a binary only package), you can just have

LICENSE=	no-commercial-use

This requires ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES to be set correctly in /etc/mk.conf
to even build the package, and also causes the user to be warned at
pkg_add time. If the license is slightly more restrictive than that,
you may need more, perhaps

RESTRICTED=	"Only the original, unmodified package may be freely distributed"
NO_BIN_ON_FTP=	${RESTRICTED}
NO_BIN_ON_CDROM=${RESTRICTED}

For examples of how to handly varying degrees of restrictions, see the
staroffice, communicator, navigator, sun-jdk, and kermit packages.
(offhand. To see more, grep for LICENSE, LICENCE, NO_BIN, NO_SRC.)
