So one *must* pkg_add the just-installed pkg then only to pull in all the 
pkgs it requires? Even although all the files are already installed
(because that's what the binary pkg was generated for)? And maybe just
nuke all the files first, because pkg_add would fail else?

I must be missing something obvious here - which problem did you want to
solve again?
