Do packages change the environment outside of the make command?
It would seem this persistant export fixes the problem...

ev () {
export LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg-2011Q1
export PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg-2011Q1/db
}

# Base packages
ev && cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/colorls && make clean-depends install
ev && cd /usr/pkgsrc/editors/vim && make clean-depends install
ev && cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/screen && make clean-depends install
ev && cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/rsync && make clean-depends install
ev && cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/fping && make clean-depends install
