If you're talking about setting ${LOCALBASE} at package build time,
that would be hard. Certainly not if we install a defaults/rc.pkg.conf
as part of the base system. Perhaps we could just agree that the
"pkg_" stands for "package system", and not for "/usr/pkg"? That would
make "xpkgwedge" a little easier to support, too, if the rcvar and
filename didn't change (when X packages are installed to /usr/pkg).
