No, sorry, my mistake.  For NetBSD this is the correct location, in
which case I don't know why WRKOBJDIR isn't working.  I was assuming a
bootstrapped environment.

They would go in sandbox/etc/mk.conf, along with mostly everything
else.  You would only add to sandbox/usr/pkg_bulk/etc/mk.conf any
options for pbulk itself (or any tools you may decide to add).

Whilst it isn't suitable (yet) for NetBSD, you may find the howto I
wrote useful to provide more background information:

This method also supports multiple chroots to speed up builds.
