First, there is a MAINTAINER in the Makefile, did you start there?

And, we prefer to get a diff -u against -current.

The script in your MESSAGE file has several long script lines
repeated, requiring the reader to compare them to find out why they 
are different, only to find they are not. Try this:

-------------
To start wpa_supplicant at boot time, add the following to
/etc/rc.local:

if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant ]; then
WIRED=re0
        if [ ! -d /var/run/wpa_priv ]; then
              mkdir /var/run/wpa_priv
              chown root:_dot1x /var/run/wpa_priv
              chmod 0750 /var/run/wpa_priv
        fi
        echo -n ' wpa_priv';       /usr/local/sbin/wpa_priv -B -P 
/var/run/wpa_priv.pid wired:${WIRED}
        echo -n ' wpa_supplicant'; /usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i ${WIRED} 
-c wpa_supplicant.conf
fi
-----------

Finally, some will say you may want to include a minimal config
file in /etc, although in the case of this program that's probably
not a good idea.  You might want to install a file with just a few
lines of comments reminding the user to look in the sample directory.
clamav uses sample configs that must be edited before enabling the
software, that's not a bad model for something like this.
