No tic won't modify terminfo.db, all it does is install the files in /usr/share/terminfo (or ~/.terminfo w/o -s).
You could add them to PLIST I guess, only thing is /usr/share/terminfo doesn't exist by default. We could make ncurses search /usr/local/share/terminfo as well if necessary. Of course the nicest thing would be if upstream would get their terminfo entry into ncurses itself like everyone else, then we would get it into base with all the rest.
