Yes, of course there is :-)

  Create a builtin.mk, and adapt the mk files to use native, if it is
  the same version as pkgsrc.

  Debug all those issues.

  Add a way to use it even if not the right version, if it is good
  enough per the package.

  Figure out if there are ABI issues from mixed, and issues with
  packages not declaring a min version that need it.  Fix all those.


Which is another way of saying "no"!
