Basically I am a member of a Public Access system running netbsd on some 
alphas, which has a much faster connection than my dialup.

I want to edit my pkgsrc-wip files from there and commit/import them.

CVS works fine, but I can't "make" without an update pkg_install, which 
isn't available on the system.

I can make pkg_install itself, but when it hits make install it wants to 
su.

Likewise I don't have access to /etc/mk.conf

Is there really no solution for my situation?
