I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

The use of environment variable for all the packages (except kdoc - see
below) is done to preserve the directory structure introduced in, for
example, x11/kdebase/patch-aa 1.5->1.6

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/x11/kdebase/patches/patch-aa.diff?r1=1.5&r2=1.6

Agreed.
