The os-version/machine-arch approach is fine for ftp.netbsd.org, for users
i think only machine-archis ok. Esp. users tracking -current will end up
with too many dirs and given that we maintain backward compatibility,
packages for different OS versions should be able to be thrown together.
Folks experiencing a a.out->ELF transition may want to set things for
their own. 

So: 
.ifdef OBJMACHINE
PACKAGES?=	${PKGSRCDIR}/packages
.else
PACKAGES?=	${PKGSRCDIR}/packages.${MACHINE_ARCH}
.endif

(Please take this as a suggestion, not as a proposal :-)
