Regular sandbox builds (i.e.  builds for the same OS that is running)
can be done by using the pkgsrc/mk/bulk/mksandbox script.

This sets up a sandbox for you with null mounts.

For doing builds in a sandbox for a different version of the
operating system, either use pkg_comp and libkver, or use a
chroot.
