Satoshi, what I am proposing here may effect the new use of this
by bsd.port.mk, so make sure you read this!

That is not a complete fix.  I propose the following changes.

a)  Remove local from etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist
b)  Rewrite etc/mtree/BSD.local/dist to include local and
    push all the other stuff under it down one level so that a
    mtree -deu -f BSD.local.dist -p /usr
    does the same thing that a
    mtree -deu -f BSD.local.dist -p /usr/local
    did.
c)  Fix etc/Makefile and other related makefiles that call mtree for
    this file do the right things.
d)  Check with the ports master to make sure I don't break any thing
    in there.
