| It's bad because:

| old layout will actually be used.

Hence the reason for the patch in the first place.  The old tests were 
ineffectual in the case that -P was forgotten.

| Not explicitly, it doesn't.  Doing so would be a good idea.

Yes, before I commit it I will add a quick message.  Something to the effect
of:

.if (exists(${MASTERDIR}/pkg) && !exists(${MASTERDIR}/pkg/DESCR))
	echo "Stale directories from the old ports layout still exist!"
	echo "You will need to add -P to each checkout/update"
