You can already do this by adding a definition for PACKAGES in your
/etc/mk.conf:

	OBJMACHINE=	yes
	PACKAGES=	${DIRECTORY OF PACKAGES DIR}/packages/${MACHINE_ARCH}

The first bit cause each the work directory to be work.${MACHINE_ARCH},
and the second bit will cause binary packages to be placed in
.../packages/${MACHINE_ARCH}.
