I think it's reasonable for tools that need a source dir to encode
PKGSRCDIR in their builds.  The idea of binary distributions that people
use with source later is a little funny to start with.   While people
put trees in all sorts of places, I see /usr/pkgsrc as the canonical
location for a pkgsrc that has been bootstrapped to (or is native at)
/usr/pkg.

So as I see it, using the canoncical PKGSRCDIR is just one more thing a
binary distribution should do, in addition to using defaults for
everything else.
