This is proven out by the number
of commits to dfports recently (just 2 files in the last 60 days, and
18 in the last 90). dfports has clearly outlived its usefulness.

Having DragonFly support the PKGSRC environment will also be beneficial
to PKGSRC as it will add another operating system and ensure even better
portability. NetBSD's support of PKGSRC will greatly reduce problems
we would otherwise face when we start working on 64 bit support.

I heartly agree, but I wonder how much it will be the "official" port
infrastructure, for example (no intend to bikeshed coloring, as long as
its green) I being a long and hardish FreeBSD user found /usr/local the
logical places for the installed ports, do we intend to default pkgsrc
packages installation to there?
