Not silly at all - though more appropriate for tech-pkgsrc than
tech-sparc...

In /etc/mk.conf, set

PKGSRC_LOCKTYPE?= sleep
OBJHOSTNAME=yes

and the second process to get to any particular package will wait until
the first one is finished before it does anything with it.

I don't know if this is considered a stable option yet or is still under
trial (since it's not on by default) - but it hasn't caused me any
problems.
