   We shouldn't accumulate multiple places in base that specify the
   location of pkgsrc packages.

This isn't a place in base that specifies the location of pkgsrc
packages.  It's a place in base that specifies the location of kernel
modules.

I don't have one unique place for pkgsrc packages: some go in
/pkg/2015Q1, some go in /pkg/2014Q4, some go in
/home/riastradh/pkgsrc/devel/pkg, &c.  Nor do I want my kernel to be
built assuming there exists a unique place for pkgsrc packages.
