I'd like to do similar - not so much so that we have binary builds
ready in a repo to download, but to capitalise on the good work that
bento and vagrant does with being able to spin up a pkgsrc-bootstrap VM
for various flavours of Linux (and some *BSDen) and use those to build
individual packages or bulk builds as required ...
