Ah, yes, because it's an internally-maintained replacement for
aviplay till that gets off its ass again. Perhaps it *should* source
bsd.pkg.mk? I mean, it's not gaining much portability by not doing
so (you still can only build on a NetBSD system).

It's not necessary to have pkgsrc within /usr/src to see this
problem. Mine is at /usr/pkgsrc.

Maybe, but that seems wrong. BSD_PKG_MK implies that bsd.pkg.mk has
been sourced (well, actually, it implies that bsd.prefs.mk has been
sourced, but that's a separately broken issue).

If BSD_PKG_MK is actually intended to mean "you're in a package
build" not "you've sourced this file", it needs to be renamed. If we
need the current semblance elsewhere, then we need another variable
to mean "you're in a package build", especially in light of the fact
that pkgsrc and the regular source tree both use /etc/mk.conf.

Or, we need pkgsrc to use a separate mk.conf from the source tree.
(I like this option not at all.)

No matter what, the mechanism for delineating between package and
source tree building needs to be documented more clearly. (I just
stumbled upon it.)

Perhaps installing a skeleton /etc/mk.conf (as has been discussed in
the past) is an ever better idea? (Do we do that? I don't think so,
but I haven't used install media any time lately on any port...)
