Cool.  Alan, I suggest using install, e.g.,

	@exec install -o root -g wheel -m 0755 %D/altroot

install has the nice property that it can write a metalog for mtree(8).
(In the far off future, I hope we can do privilegeless installs of
selected syspkgs, and then create a boot image with makefs(8).)
