Do you have experience how much stuff breaks when changing PREFER_*?
You can't change PREFER_* at all once you've started building for a prefix. You will get the dreaded "can't buildlink files" error because packages will be expecting a dependency that no longer exists or vice versa.
So instead you'd have a specific, separate build that would change these variables. In the past I've set up different bulk builds with different settings to help expose this, but people then assume it's an OS issue rather than a pkgsrc issue, so this needs to be made a lot clearer.
