there is no "correct" solution.  it all depends on your preferences and
environment.  i don't see a problem in having pkgsrc tree writable by an
ordinary user who updates pkgsrc and build packages, e.g., "src" user.

my local setup is different on different hosts/locations i have.  for
home use i have pkgsrc tree on a nfs server, mounted read-write by an
ordinary user (i update the tree with), DISTDIR=3D/usr/dist and
WRKOBJDIR=3D/var/tmp/pkgsrc.  the user i am building packages with doesn't
have write access to the pkgsrc tree at all, only owns /usr/dist and
/var/tmp/pkgsrc.
