I don't see any improvement of using values rather than variables, but I could
try.

Providing per-pkg basis sounds really cool, but [1].

Hmm, but we have php4 splitted in small packages, so you cannot install
php4 with mysql/pgsql unless you go to the directory and install it one by one.

[1] Actually we cannot have two mysql*/pgsql* installed, because they
      install the same files into the same directories, this could be fixed
      renaming the packages to use ${PKGBASE} instead of ${DISTNAME}.
