I have tried this, too, and found it doesn't work.  I believe one problem
is that the pkgsrc system creates "flag" files in the package's work
directory, including ".install_done".  When trying "make install" on
another machine, pkgsrc system finds this "flag" and thinks the package
has already been installed.

I wonder why this check is done in the first place - shouldn't the
install procedure check /var/db/pkg instead?  This would allow installing
the same package on multiple machines using an NFS mounted pkg tree.
