I wasn't advocating the use of /usr/pkg, but rather the way they enforce it for every package. I personally don't mind what the prefix is called, but for the sake of POLA /usr/local would certainly serve FreeBSD better. FWIW, well behaved software should always be $PREFIX clean. On an unrelated note, I also find their buildlink system pretty interesting, and have meant to have a more in depth look at it for a while but, as always, there's only so much stuff you can do in 24 hours.
