Have your tools auto-search starting from the specified dir.
Thus you have, for example,

All/or/nothing
All/or/else
All/factory
All/ah

etc. and if pkg foo depends on bar, and All is the specified
distribution dir, pkg_add walks down the All/ tree until it
finds foo.  You can use some conventions to group things
logically.
