The /nix directory should be created when the port is installed

Or we should at least tell users to do so in pkg-message.

Can/should we also create build user(s) when the port is installed?

It was discouraged by the FreeBSD portmgr@. Normally, it's fine to do it but in case of Nix you don't really know how many build users you need. So there is a script at the moment which the admin can use to create Nix build users.

How do I know how many build users to create?

All I know is what is written in the Nix documentation: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#ssec-multi-user
