I'd rather see this in the devel category, then add CATEGORIES+=cross if
necessary.

These links smell like trouble to me... what if I have one crosscomp. pkg
installed, and want a second one installed? 

Why not put things directly into /usr/pkg/bin, with the programs named as
appropriate (maybe with the exception of gcc, which could snarf in the
right files (via some -b/-B switch) from /usr/pkg/lib/gcc-lib/arch-os...)?
