 *   Dont install identconn or itest, installing itest requires root access,
 *   meaning it will silently fail if you (say) install as "bin".  This makes

Well, installation and packaging requires root for many ports, so it's
certainly not a sin.  I'm not sure what happens what pkg_add will do,
it will probably just give you a warning.
