Yeah, that's one of several known issues with update-plist.
You must not trust its output.

You need to append the following at the end of the PLIST:
@rcscript ${RCDIR}/udpxy
Beware that running make plist again will remove it...

I think Stuart suggested going with a local do-install target directly within
the port Makefile.
Something like:
do-install:
${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKBUILD}/.../udpxy ${PREFIX}/bin/udpxy
${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKBUILD}/.../udpxy.1 ${PREFIX}/man/man1/udpxy.1
etc etc
