@joerg: thanks for the heads up, I wasn’t aware of pkgtools/rc.subr!

I have updated my patches to modify pkgtools/rc.subr as suggested.
It adds support for unprivileged builds and for NetBSD in pkgtools/rc.subr.
It also seems to work on macOS in my first tests.
Now the intrusive changes should be limited to mk.conf (new SYSCONFBASE variable).
Does it look like it could make its way into HEAD?
