this also breaks the build if ${LOCALBASE} is set to a non-default
value: https://people.freebsd.org/~ivy/tmp/update-packages.log

if i'm reading this right, it seems like even if this works it will
build a new pkg package every time you build src, which roughly doubles
the time it takes me to build packages.  that's going to slow down my
development workflow significantly, since i always update from packages
when testing changes.

i've reverted this locally for now so i can get some work done.
