Doh.

I'd mved sh out of the way and linked ksh to sh to solve another problem,
some time ago.  This only recently impacted pkgsrc though.   Putting 'real'
sh back as /bin/sh seems to have solved the pkgsrc problem.

The problem I 'fixed' was that some programs that called /bin/sh were
calling 'env' just after executing.  This would happen with man, perldoc, and
a few others:
