Your tutorial is very helpful and seams easy to follow.
I myself started from "zero" by following official pkgsrc developer's 
guide
and managed to package some pieces of software right away
(some python modules and later on megatools).

CMUCL, however, is probably not the best piece of software to start with
because it requires to it (earlier) self to build, i.e. it cannot be
bootstraped from anything that already exists in pkgsrc.

I don't want to sound discouraging, I am just saying that CMCUL can 
particularly be tricky.

In any case, best of luck. I would love to see CMCUL in pkgsrc myself 
;-).
