I think the cleanest way would be to just install the file in
${PREFIX}/share/X11/xkb/, and then tell users to use setxkbmap -I ...
Just tried this but it seems I can't make it work. :)
Possible other ways to do it:
2. include the mapping into xenocara. Perhaps you could ask the author
to change the licence?
3. install in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/xkb-qwerty-fr and then @sample it
in /usr/X11R6. Dunno if that's ok for other porters and X11 people.
4. patch setxkbmap so that it also looks at /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/.
But a custom PREFIX at port build time to would break this, and
that'd be one more patch Matthieu has to deal with.

I think x11 would be nicer too.
Some hints for your port:
- I'd tweak COMMENT, something like "qwerty keyboard layout for french
users"
- your PKGNAME doesn't include a version number, it should. You could
set V = 0.5 and then use it in PKGNAME and INTERNAL
- PERMIT_PACKAGE_FTP and PERMIT_DISTFILES_FTP are not needed anymore.
Also I think it would be better to install the copyright notice.
(I've seen some ports removing them in the past and felt a bit
puzzled...)
- it's better not to try to be smart about MASTER_SITES
- most if not all porters prefer variable assignements to be properly
aligned with tabs
