Handy, thanks.
I am doing this in my destroot phase
     set empty_dirs {docs errors logs notes notspam okmail pb  
quarantine spam}
     foreach empty_dir $empty_dirs {
         ui_info " MY DEBUG: Making empty dir at ${destroot}$ 
{assp_base}/$empty_dir"
         xinstall -d -o _assp -g _assp -m 0755 ${destroot}${assp_base}/ 
$empty_dir
     }

In order to hold those directories I have had to:
destroot.keepdirs   $destroot$assp_base/docs \
                     $destroot$assp_base/errors \
                     $destroot$assp_base/logs \
                     $destroot$assp_base/notes \
                     $destroot$assp_base/notspam \
                     $destroot$assp_base/okmail \
                     $destroot$assp_base/pb \
                     $destroot$assp_base/quarantine \
                     $destroot$assp_base/spam

Is there some way I can so it in the same loop, so I am only  
maintaining one list?  I tried but of course I only maintain the last  
in the list of dirs.

Maybe I should just drop one line in the foreach and stuff my  
own .turd in there?
