mtree seems a bit overhead for me for pkgsrc. Eg. makedev() part of code of
mtree is non-portable, but mtree is needed for pkgsrc, but it will never use
that makedevs.

Also, PLISTS format is much easier to understand :)

IMO dirs-only packages seem a good idea. mtree vs packaged directories is
quite like xsrc vs packaged XFree86; both pkgsrc versions are easier to
understand and maintain.
