Two ways around it IIRC, either (in mk.conf):

  SU_CMD=3D /bin/sh -c

or what I use these days:

  ID=3D ~/bin/fakeid

  $ cat ~/bin/fakeid
  #! /bin/sh
  echo 0
  exit 0
  $

pkgsrc as non-root is very common these days, so it may make
sense for us to implement a standard variable for it..

Cheers,
