"man toe"?

"rsh nfs.server /usr/sbin/pkg_info toe"?

What's the big deal here anyway?  It's not as if you login to your
private machine some day and suddenly find that some random person has
foisted their /usr/pkg onto your system!  As kre says, the only thing
this means in the big picture is that all of the package management is
done on one host and it's shared amongst all local hosts of the same
architecture.
