Maybe see page 10 of http://www.feyrer.de/Texts/Own/21c3-pkgsrc-paper.pdf 
(== http://www.feyrer.de/OPS/pkgsrc_env_no-root) for a few more things 
(chmod...).

Personally, I'd keep this in a seperate file, i.e. in bsd.pkg.mk:

 	.if defined(PKGSRC_UNPRIVED)
 	.include .../bsd.pkg-unprivileged.mk
 	.endif

and then move all the things you added into that file.
Keeps things a bit seperated.
