I have no real idea, but setting the above variables to something like 
/usr/pkg-2005Q1 etc. would make more sense to me, and then just point 
symlinks - /usr/pkg to keep in $PATH, and maybe even have /etc/rc*.d/* 
scripts point to /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*, so it would get updated on the 
switch automatically.

Plan B is to play with the pkgs in pkgsrc/pkgtools.

If you come across any foolproof ways, please let us know!
There's currently ways too much rope...
