On Tue, Sep 02, 2014 at 03:51:31AM +0200 I heard the voice of
Michelle Sullivan, and lo! it spake thus:

So what?  The pkg port uses _ITSELF_ to register.  The "pkg" in the
base system isn't pkg, it just a bootstrap to fetch the pkg pkg (which
them uses itself to register too).  If you're using the pkg _PORT_,
it's not even involved in the first place.
