Just a word of caution - I used to run these regularly 4-5 years ago,
but they were pretty much useless as too many large dependencies were
constantly failing.

As an example here's the last one I did:

  https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/pkgsrc/public/reports/upstream-trunk64-tests/20161106.2241/meta/report.html

It would be great to have something that is more useful, but I fear it
would just mean a proliferation of NOT_FOR_BULK_TEST or something to
even start to get meaningful results.

Of course if someone has the time to go through and actually fix up
the failures that would be awesome ;)
