INSTALLATION_DIRS already handles permissions and ownerships of "special"
directories.  For bin directories, it will use INSTALL_BIN_DIR; for man
directories, INSTALL_MAN_DIR, and for everything else, INSTALL_DATA_DIR.
You can see this around line 2690 of bsd.pkg.mk.

Furthermore, AFAICT, INSTALLATION_DIRS should be used to create those dirs
that could be otherwise created by mtree.

Cheers.
