I just don't see the benefit of a script, and I do see an issue (being 
non optional as part of another package). I like stuff to be properly 
referenced by pkginfo, unless it's an editable configuration file. 
Installing a new package, I would certainly prefer it using proper 
system tools to modify /usr than having a script go tinker with it (and 
have to deal with -R, zones, whatever). Why bother? There's packaging 
already. Why does it shock you to use a package to install things in /usr?

AFAICT, mgar *should* support it already, since the mechanism is there. 
It's just either a little underdocumented or not quite polished. So that 
should be clarified.
