I don't think so.  You may want to use the attached script to fix that,
by doing something like:

set-cvsroot.sh :ext:account@your.preferred.mirror:/directory /usr/pkgsrc

And you should also file a PR reporting the issue.  We should probably
set a sane value in the tarball (though I don't know what mirror we 
should use).
