You don't need or want "sudo" ahead of time; there is a
su/sudo-in-place inside bsd.pkg.mk.  In particular, I highly recommend
against ever doing "sudo make ..." in pkgsrc for any reason (except
the glaring exception of python, which requires "sudo make clean" due
to a completely bogus install process).
