There needs to be a way of installing that does not use the pkgsrc tools.
That is, the way it is installed now.

I use tar to install on sun3 and other such small machines.

The pkg tools are not reliable enough to support the syspkg concept. The
pkgsrc concept is basically only good for building software that has many
parts, kde, mozilla, etc. It does not provide an environment where software
can be reliably upgraded.
