You may want to consider using pkgsrc-wip for testing and review.
Also, pkgtools/pkglint shows your package is good.
My comments:
EGDIR is not needed. Only one use. So simplify this. And use
share/examples/oak/ as the examples directory not just share/examples/.
And fix MESSAGE and PLIST to add that subdirectory (and in PLIST have a
@dirrm share/examples/oak also).
EGFILES not needed. Only one use. So simplify.
Use INSTALLATION_DIRS+= share/examples/oak to precreate directory.
Why the MESSAGE? Can the share/examples/oak/oak.conf be used as is (once
put into place)? If so, use CONF_FILES to install automatically.
Be sure to send your patches, suggestions and manpage to the upstream
developer(s).
Looks good other than I didn't build it.
