That sounds, uhm, ambitious! :-)  Hope this works out.

This would need to be passed to the bootstrap command when building the
package tools.  If you already have the package tools, you can ignore
this and by setting PKGSRC_COMPILER=3Dmipspro you should be good to go.
Just make sure that you have the proper ABI set and that it doesn't
conflict with the compilers defaults (check /etc/compiler.defaults).

I think you may get away with building new packages with mipspro, but I
never mixed compilers, so there may be surprises lurking.
