Now I am confused...

news/inn sets PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT=destdir so that the install target 
gets run as root, and oodles of files get special permissions and/or 
ownership. <mk/bsd.prefs.mk> says

.if ${_USE_DESTDIR} == "destdir"
_MAKE_PACKAGE_AS_ROOT=  yes
_MAKE_CLEAN_AS_ROOT=    yes
_MAKE_INSTALL_AS_ROOT=  yes
.else
[...]

which looks like TRT should happen, but it doesn't?

Cheerio,
