Oops. Thanks looks like my change. ;) I just fixed it in 
mk/install/bsd.pkginstall.mk.

I had not taken into account that PKG_USERS and PKG_GROUPS bevahe 
different when used in the following shell constructs.

eval set -- ${PKG_USERS} ;
while ${TEST} $$# -gt 0; do ...

$$pkg_users=${PKG_USERS:Q}; for i in $$pkg_users; do ...

I reverted my change. But I think the line
     PKG_USERS?= postfix:postfix::Postfix\\ User:${POSTFIX_QUEUE_DIR}
should rather look like
     PKG_USERS?= postfix:postfix::Postfix\ User:${POSTFIX_QUEUE_DIR:Q}
which I find far more intuitive. PKG_USERS is then a normal "external 
list", as defined by the pkgsrc guide. Currently it is of some weird 
undefined data type.
