But when you do a "make all install" in a ports subdirectory, it installs
the pkg/* files in /var/db/pkg. And I don't have a tarball yet !

Where will pkg_info take its information if not in /var/db/pkg ? It should
first look into the db directory and take the information elsewhere if the
package is not installed. You can't force people to keep tarballs around
when they've been installed. Or am I missing something ?
