But the ports collection predated NetBSD's use of /usr/pkg...

I have a /local for things that must be local to the machine and
/usr/local NFS mounted in one lab.  In the other, I don't worry about
it and have /usr/local and /packages.  In a third I have /usr/local
and no central package area.  The only thing that seems different is
the order of my path variable :-)
