I did my part, now it's your turn. I'll toss few ideas for
consideration:

1. Hypothetic pkg_install port should have sources in place, so that
it is available right after cvsup.

2. Once installed, the port shouldn't register itself with
/var/db/pkg, becase (a) we don't want zillion versions of
pkg_install-xx.yy.zz cluttering /var/db/pkg and (b) no installed
package should depend on a specific pkg_install package - it's ports
only thing. I'd suggest to separate pkg_install version
checking/updating routine into special target in bsd.port.mk and put
this target even before pre-everything in _FETCH_SEQ.
