You can just use:

 LICENSE=    mit

in the pkgsrc Makefile (the additional `LICENSE' file in the homepage
seems just the copyright holder(s) and year(s) of the MIT license
template).

Also the licenses in pkgsrc/licenses/ are templates/examples but
usually we notify the users via LICENSE variable just about the
license a package is distributed and not about copyright holder(s)
and year(s).
