I've add following lines to the port's makefile:
USERS=        payara
GROUPS=        payara

And user is created automatically during port installation process.

Guys, thanks for your help. I've managed to adjust user's homedir
using pkg-install script. Now I'll try to move everything writable
from /usr/local to /var (as Miroslav suggested), test and submit the new
port version.

Ideally you should not silently change existing user account. There is possibility that user (sysadmin) made some tweaks (different UID, different home, shell etc.) and if your port will do some silent changes it can break some setup. Better way is to use this setting only on newly created user (fresh pkg install) or print pkg-message with instruction (command) what should user do to have this setup corrected to new port properties.
Or maybe you can do this change interactively with user confirmation Y/N.
Maybe create UPDATING entry.

Just my $0.02
