pkg_add is always native. 
And for the remote FTP servers... well, shouldn't be hard to do that...

Note that we'll put 1.5.1 pkgs in a "1.5" dir as both are binary
compatible. (Yes, that's a change to 1.4 and 1.3 :-).

Try the patch below to make 'bin-install' set PKG_PATH automatically for
now. It's a quick hack but might indeed work. Let me know if/if not.

Doing pkgsrc work with PKG_PATH set has too many side effects, that's why
it's prevented. If you want to fix it, send patches. :)

set DEPENDS_TARGET=bin-install.
