If you're interested (and have a way for me to send files to you), I 
have a binary bootstrap kit for Darwin: 
bootstrap-pkgsrc-Darwin-8.10.3-universal-20070921.pkg

I was able to build subversion-base and py24-subversion (enough for 
trac). But haven't attempted a full-on subversion meta-package build.

I have binaries for those too. And a bunch of others from pkgsrc-2007Q3...

I think those xorg packages are left over from 2007Q2 (failed attempts 
to build xorg as a whole.) Otherwise most things are probably up-to-date.

Apart from a few PKG_OPTIONS, the only funky thing is that I have 
PKG_SYSCONFBASE=/etc
