[fake root snip]

Why not use a chrooted env? That's probably easier for packaging (since you 
don't have to "fake" the ports system). Heck, I bet you can use jails for 
that as well. Also, a rampant makefile can only wreck stuff in the chrooted 
env, so you have your protection.

Or am I saying something completely stupid and outrageous here :-)

Cheers,
Emiel
