No, I ment setting up a directory in which you create all the files
necessary to chroot into, so that to the system it looks like an
independent system.  See Packages.txt, section 3.2.6.

That is what is referred to as a sandbox, since that's where the
pkgsrc-bulk-build can go and play without affecting your normal system.
