new port suggestion: sysutils/pkg_read

[Etienne Robillard]

Hi Wesley,

imho it make senses to use $PORTSDIR when this
variable is set, otherwise its probably not
a bad idea to fallback on "/usr/ports". You
have my +1 for this suggestion and will most likely
make the required modifications for the next 
release. 

Thanks very much,

Etienne
