Wouldn't it be much cheaper (only one rename) to do:
  * mv distfiles .OLD_distfiles
You have to ajust the names below also.
I'm affiard, if /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles is a filesystem (mountpoint),
it will not work.

I think it would be nice to have it. But for makeing a CD-image from an
non NetBSD OS it would be nicer to have a list of required distfiles for
each pkgsrc.tgz version. If this list can be produced, join(1) can do
the job much cheaper. What about concatinating all md5-files?
