I disagree. pkg_chk is a simple shell script and you can easily copy it
over to a new (empty) machine's /tmp and have it install the binary
pkgs you want (/tmp/pkg_chk -ab) from a binary pkg repo. It will then
install the proper pkg_chk version too.

So the autodetect is uncommon but kind of usefull.

On the other hand, at least on NetBSD, /etc/mk.conf is used outside of
pkgsrc, and it is easy to write it in a way that properly deals with
both kinds of invocation.
