If you use a second live pkgsrc on the same system it can only reside
in a location apart from /usr/pkgsrc, /usr/pkg ...

You have to keep all intersections apart and cannot use prebuilt
binary packages from a /usr/pkgsrc build on a /usr/pkgsrc-current,
/usr/pkg-current setup.
So you also have to clear your path variable of reference to /usr/pkg
and replace them with your new second pkgsrc and also bootstrap that
pkgsrc because the build tools and everything will need to be adjusted
to the new paths and will result in building a bmake that knows how to
handle them. So you need to compile and run stuff on the new pkgsrc by
setting up your path and using the correct bmake instead of the system
make.
