man make.conf: |

INSTALL_MASK = [space delimited list of file names] |

Use this variable if you want to selectively prevent certain |
| 16 |
files from being copied into your file system tree. This does |
| 17 |
not work on symlinks, but only on actual files. Useful if you |
| 18 |
wish to filter out files like HACKING.gz and TODO.gz. The |
| 19 |
INSTALL_MASK is processed just before a package is merged. Also |
| 20 |
supported is a PKG_INSTALL_MASK variable that behaves exactly |
| 21 |
like INSTALL_MASK except that it is processed just before cre‐ |
| 22 |
ation of a binary package. |

Honestly I don't know if it works on empty directories, but give it a shot. |
