Not needed. Not used. From mk/bsd.pkg.mk:

.elif ${PKG_INSTALLATION_TYPE} == "pkgviews"
PREFIX=                 ${DEPOTBASE}/${PKGNAME}
NO_MTREE=               yes
.endif

I don't see how it is needed at all. I have used NO_MTREE for several
months. Because of pkgviews and INSTALLATION_DIRS, mtree is not needed to
create directory hiearchies.

It is useful for permissions.

And I do use mtree for its file integrity checking.
