The NetBSD ports collection seems happy to consistently use /usr/pkg as its root. I'm certainly not positive that this can easily be made a changeable option without some difficulty, but one of the often heard complaints in our shop is that we can't really use /usr/local for local things anymore because ports live there --- and we desire the ability to blow away easily recreated ports while retaining hand built extras.
