I think Hubert's suggestion of LOCALBASE has merit.
Also, if /var/db/pkg is going to be avoided by changing to
/var/db/pkgsrc, then /usr/pkg should also be avoided. If the db is in
LOCALBASE, then this is moot.
What are the downsides of using a db under LOCALBASE on platforms where
pkgsrc is not native?
