yes.  

It might be useful for our sandboxed bulk build setup to make sure that
only /var/db/pkg and /usr/pkg are mounted r/w and everything else is
mounted r/o.  Also, I've wondered about having the leftovers log search
over all of / instead of just /usr/pkg using something like the build
order file be used for a time stamp.
