Does the last paragraph above still apply? From what I have seen (with
USE_DESTDIR=full and PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT=user-destdir) the files added
by pkg_add have correct permissions but all directories from those
packages belong to the local user who built the packages, eg

  drwxr-xr-x   6 pkgsrc  pkgsrc   512 Mar 25 04:04
    lib/perl5/vendor_perl//5.8.0/CGI/FormBuilder
  drwxr-xr-x   2 pkgsrc  pkgsrc   512 Mar 25 04:04
    lib/perl5/vendor_perl//5.8.0/CGI/FormBuilder/Field
  drwxr-xr-x   2 pkgsrc  pkgsrc   512 Mar 25 04:04
    lib/perl5/vendor_perl//5.8.0/CGI/FormBuilder/Messages
  drwxr-xr-x   2 pkgsrc  pkgsrc   512 Mar 25 04:04
    lib/perl5/vendor_perl//5.8.0/CGI/FormBuilder/Source
  drwxr-xr-x   2 pkgsrc  pkgsrc   512 Mar 25 04:04
    lib/perl5/vendor_perl//5.8.0/CGI/FormBuilder/Template
