This is what I would view as correct. More specifically: documentation goes in
${prefix}/share/doc/${subport} and examples in
${prefix}/share/examples/${subport}.
The version number usually does not belong in these paths because there can
only be one version of a port active at one time.
${prefix}/share/${subport} is a location where ports can install any
architecture-agnostic files they may need. Some build systems may also put
documentation or examples here. If I did anything about this in a portfile it
would probably just be to install symlinks at ${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}
and ${prefix}/share/examples/${subport} pointing to the places within
${prefix}/share/${subport} where the build system installed them.
If other documentation, portfiles or portgroups puts these files elsewhere,
ideally they should be fixed. For example,
${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}/examples seems wrong to me.
