You should be able to do this easily with bootstrap, I think:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap ; ./bootstrap --prefix /usr/pkg-2011Q1
--pkgdbdir /usr/pkg-2011Q1/db

Ideally, make sure that your existing /usr/pkg is not in your PATH
when you run the command and when you install 2011Q1 packages. Maybe
you can define a shell alias that switches the PATH around. The
pkgtools installed in /usr/pkg-2011Q1/bin will use the right database
and prefix.
