It will work fine without this line, but if an admin has the path set

That feels like something that should be documented rather than telling users to overwrite system binaries unconditionally.
Should pkgsrc be really dependent of system path here. It should surely 
be using its own preference of pkgsrc pkg tools if its going to the 
trouble of building them otherwise its always going to be at the mercy 
of the system path for the build.
