One thing that could be useful to achive this goal (half of the
packages work) is manually setting

AWK=/opt/local/pkg/bin/gawk

in /etc/mk.conf *after* installing gawk from pkgsrc. Also, many
packages seem to have trouble with Solaris' sed and need
USE_GNU_TOOLS+=sed in their Makefile. I'm going to report these,
if I find the time.

Cheers, Rob.
