--- Comment #4 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> ---
I strongly think this is a bad idea. lock and unlock are imho feature that
should not be promoted too much has it has a lot of drawbacks and can lead =
to
many problems. Adding new targets in the ports tree will just promote it ev=
en
more.

Beside that. The ports tree is not a place to do package management. it can
install because it is mandatory to be able to build packages. so it does not
have to present all commands pkg have via targets.
