 LOCALBASE is where packages will finally get installed. WRKOBJDIR is
 different. That has to be a local dir. for multi-OS builds.

 OK, I think some assumptions are wrong here. You've started the build like this:
 
 ./bootstrap --prefix /x/y --unprivileged ...
 cd ../devel/rcs
 export PATH=/x/y:$PATH
 bmake
 
 All that is correct, but, I'm if not mistaken, you want to use `make' instead
 of `bmake'. But, that just can't be used as it is because the system make
 has no idea that it has to use the pkgsrc stuff sitting in the `/x/y' prefix.
 
 You'll have to tell system make to use the config. in `/x/y'. This worked for
 me:
 
 In `/etc/mk.conf', I added:
 
 .ifdef BSD_PKG_MK       # begin pkgsrc settings
 .include "/x/y/etc/mk.conf"
 .endif                  # end pkgsrc settings
 
 This made make(1) behave like bmake(1). Make sure to set WRKOBJDIR too.

 PS. pkgsrc gurus please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
