For bash, apache, openssl, and most everything else, this is true, but for 
some reason lynx worked after running make and rehash.

I'm not familiar with csh, running on bash for the past few years 
(spoiled?) mostly because of the history feature.

I'm also getting used to the idea that everything installed by pkgsrc is 
installed in the /usr/pkgsrc/ tree by default, so I made the recommended 
change in /etc/mk.conf to load new apps into the /usr/local/ tree (which 
I'm more familiar with securing).

I did run into a problem last night with deinstalling apache from 
/usr/pkgsrc and reinstalling it into /usr/local... lot of deps (libtools, 
mml for two) are not found, having a time trying to figure how to make 
them.

Ah.. the fun of a new learning curve! :)
