 It is indeed. I see section 5.6 of the pkgsrc guide spells this out
 clearly. I should RTM first... I assume the original submitter had
 the same idea as me: that setting the variable would "clobber" any
 other potential settings, but the pkgsrc framework is more nuanced
 (I can see why it would be).
