I'm using a mix of dirty hacks:


oliver at freefall oliver> cat build_env
#!/bin/csh
setenv PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/home/oliver/root/
usr/X11R6/bin:/home/oliver/root/usr/local/bin
setenv MAKEFLAGS "-m/home/oliver/root/usr/share/mk/`uname -r | cut -d'.' -
f1` -DINSTALL_AS_USER"
setenv MAKECONF /home/oliver/root/etc/make.conf
setenv PKG_DBDIR /home/oliver/root/var/db/pkg
ldconfig -if /home/oliver/root/ld-elf.so.hints /usr/lib /home/oliver/root/
usr/X11R6/lib /home/oliver/root/usr/local/lib
oliver at freefall oliver> tail root/usr/share/mk/6/sys.mk

LOCALBASE=      ${HOME}/root/usr/local
X11BASE=        ${HOME}/root/usr/X11R6
#PREFIX?=       ${LOCALBASE}
DISTDIR=        ${HOME}/root/usr/distfiles
PORT_DBDIR=     ${HOME}/root/var/db/ports
PKG_DBDIR=      ${HOME}/root/var/db/pkg
WRKDIRPREFIX=   ${HOME}/obj/${MACHINE}-${OSREL}
INSTALL_AS_USER=yo
LDCONFIG="${HOME}/root/ldconfig"
oliver at freefall oliver> cat root/ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig -i -f /home/oliver/root/ld-elf.so.hints $*
oliver at freefall oliver> grep 'OWN.*oliver' root/usr/share/mk/6/bsd.*
root/usr/share/mk/6/bsd.own.mk:BINOWN?=	oliver
root/usr/share/mk/6/bsd.own.mk:SHAREOWN?=	oliver


then "source build_env" and start using the ports...
some things truly can be sorted out from sys.mk into make.conf and so on
but I just didn't wanted to spend more time in cleaning it up.
