  Simply use ``-b -P URL'' where URL is where the binary packages are
(e.g. ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD-3.1/i386/All), as in

	pkg_chk -b -P URL -u

or
	pkg_chk -b -P URL -a -C pkg_chk.conf

: Can you use pkg_chk without pkgsrc tree?

  Yes, if -b and -P is given, no pkgsrc tree is used.  If packages are
on the local machine, they are scanned directly, otherwise pkg_summary
is fetched.  (Using pkg_summary for local packages is on the TODO
list).
