In setting up multiple chroot areas (or the like) it would be
handy to be able to download just once and reuse the downloads
while setting up the various chroots --instead of hitting the
FreeBSD server with repeated downloads, for example.

The example context was setting up armv7 chroot areas on a
aarch64 system. I worked from inside each chroot area to convert
it to pkgbase.

For what I was doing, some of the pkgbase packages are not needed
( FreeBSD-src* and FreeBSD-kernel-generic* ). So only downloading
the ones used (as seen in the net result) could be part of this.
(The "net result" note is because of not being able to indicate
skipping a few: deleted later instead.)
