I (in clever sysadmin mode) can certainly see strong arguments for multiple DBDIR's, such as the shared /usr (or shared /usr/pkg!) examples. I can also predict potential problems where dependencies exist between packages in different shared filesystems that can be seen and manipulated only in part from different machines, and that the tools will need to help me figure out what i've done wrong at least.
I think I've come around to the opinion that "shared /usr" or "shared /usr/pkg" is a configuration that a power user should figure out for themselves, and not something that we should try to support in the base tools.
