As a first cut that seems to do the right thing with various  
syntaxes, see http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~allbery/pkgtools2mk.pl (this  
only addresses MAKE_ARGS).

I used a couple of passes with M-x replace-regexp in xemacs to  
convert mine, but I stuck to a particular format when defining things  
in pkgtools.conf; this script should handle a wider range of input,  
although it assumes you inserted your entries into something  
resembling the sample pkgtools.conf.
