Yes.

The only bit that needs to be scripted is installing pkg_install from
the binary repository after the bulk build has finished.  So, yes, but
it's not very interesting:

  https://github.com/joyent/pkgbuild/blob/master/scripts/mk-release-bootstrap#L50-L54

Thus we have two bootstrap kits, the original non-SSL pkgsrc bootstrap
that is used for building everything, and then we repackage that up at
the end into a complete bootstrap kit for users.
