Yes, that would be good to have.

If we have VARBASE, we might as well use it.

As a side note, I've always assumed from hier(7) that /var/db was for
run-time databases, not persistent ones, and tend to place the
metadata for packages under ${PREFIX} using a PKG_DBDIR setting.

Not that this has anything to do with dhcp...
