In this case it probably isn't; neither find nor anything else is
going to be able to continue to recurse until after that thing's been
given sane permissions. Same for other stuff in the distfile which is
different but equally crazy.

(There appear to be no executable files, so that part's ok.)

I'd check quickly if the issue is repeatble outside of pkgsrc (I'd
expect it is) and file a dragonfly bug on it. I have a dim
recollection we might have had to fix this or something like it in
netbsd's fts library.
