I tackled only a few of these, and placed them in my 
/etc/mk.conf, which now looks like this:

--snip--
X11_TYPE=modular
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+= gnu-agpl-v3
PKG_OPTIONS.xscreensaver+= pam opengl
PKG_OPTIONS.firefox60+= alsa
PKG_OPTIONS.rxvt-unicode+= rxvt-term
RUST_TYPE=src
USE_ABI_DEPENDS?=yes
WRKOBJDIR ?=    /var/package-obj
DISTDIR ?=      /var/package-distfiles
PACKAGES ?=     /var/packages
--snip--

One consequence of the arrangement now is that 'work' 
directories get created in /var/packages-obj. Could this be a 
stumbling block for the build process?

For example, here's what I see trying to build emacs from 
pkgsrc:

--snip--
===> Creating toolchain wrappers for emacs26-26.3nb8
[ ! -h 
/var/package-obj/editors/emacs26/work/.buildlink/include/X11/Xaw 
] &&  /bin/mkdir -p 
/var/package-obj/editors/emacs26/work/.buildlink/include/X11 && 
/bin/ln -s Xaw3d 
/var/package-obj/editors/emacs26/work/.buildlink/include/X11/Xaw
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/editors/emacs26
*** Error code 1
--snip--

Thoughts, anyone?

Thank you

 A test of right and wrong must be the means, one would
 think, of ascertaining what is right or wrong, and not a
 consequence of having already ascertained it.
