I had thought of this in the back of my mind too.

It might be sufficient to add BSD_PKG_MK=1 to MAKE_ENV in this case, as you
suggested, to avoid picking up the wrong mk.conf variables.  I haven't
tested it, and invite someone else to do so.  (The issue is whether doing
this may exclude options _desired_ by the builder if the package uses BSD
Makefiles.  8-)

I've added something to bsd.prefs.mk (rev. 1.65) that sets USETOOLS=no --
both for bsd.pkg*.mk and via MAKE_ENV for invoked builds.  This should allow
pkgsrc to be located inside "src" without trouble.

Now, why DESTDIR was being picked up for gr is unrelated to this, as his
pkgsrc was located outside of src.  It's probably the BSD Makefile issue you
described above.
