My impression was that pkgsrc changes its base location monolithically;
e.g. all packages to the same spot, which is /usr/pkg/ by default.

It may be possible to do something in a jail or with chroot where you
build a new pkgsrc location with a bootstrap, install to that location,
package up that install, and then use it with your normal pkgsrc install. 
Or I could be overcomplicating it.  pkgsrc-users@netbsd.org may also have
answers.
