I'd tend to favouring option 4, for consistency with the (other) source sets -- 
the same reasons why people would want to chown /usr/pkgsrc equally apply to 
/usr/src and friends, therefore IMHO either they should be treated the same way.
Of course, conversely that could also mean that /all/ the source sets might be 
treated as proposed in the first three options, but I think going for the 4th 
would be quite okay.  (On a freshly installed system, it's reasonable to expect 
most stuff being owned by root.)
