Ok, thanks, I wasn't aware of that.  I used this to have the stable
pkgsrc tree "in general" but have up-to-date firefox, icewm, ...  

So either I'll have to stick to the latest stable, or move entirely to
HEAD.  

Another solution may be to maintain two independent pkgsrc trees on my
system: one 2004Q4 and one HEAD.  But can they use the same /var/db/pkg
and /usr/pkg trees?
