My impression was that pkgsrc changes its base location monolithically; e.g. all packages to the same spot, which is /usr/pkg/ by default. It may be possible to do something in a jail or with chroot where you build a new pkgsrc location with a bootstrap, install to that location, package up that install, and then use it with your normal pkgsrc install. Or I could be overcomplicating it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] may also have answers.
