/usr/pkg is the default install location since nbsd 1.??
Every binary package that you install should install there.
If you use pkgsrc to build your exec's they will also install there.

If you use the GNU configure in source packages THEIR default is /usr/local
( either use pkgsrc or -prefix /usr/pkg as an option to be NBSD compatible)

not that it matters, but that's NetBSD style.
