How To Set PKG_PATH?

[Drew Tomlinson]

Sorry if this has been covered before but I have not been able to find 
the answer.  Where do I set PKG_PATH so portupgrade will install 
packages from a local drive instead of attempting to 'fetch'?  I tried 
adding 'PKG_PATH=/usr/ports/packages' to /etc/make.conf but that doesn't 
work.  Portupgrade still tries to 'fetch'?

What I'm trying to do is build packages from the ports tree on my faster 
machine (BLACKLAMB) and then install those packages on my slower machine 
(BLACKSHEEP).  I've found that either 'make package' or portupgrade -p 
will build a package and place it in /usr/ports/packages.  Because I run 
samba on this faster machine, I created a 'ports' share and mounted it 
via smbfs on the slower machine.  My 'df' output shows this:

blacksheep# df

//ACCOUNT at BLACKLAMB/PORTS       16639488 4049920 12589568    24%    
/usr/ports
//ACCOUNT at BLACKLAMB/SRC         16639488 4049920 12589568    24%    /usr/src
//ACCOUNT at BLACKLAMB/OBJ         16639488 4049920 12589568    24%    /usr/obj

Thus /usr/ports/packages on BLACKSHEEP contains all of the packages 
built on BLACKLAMB:

blacksheep# ll /usr/ports/packages

I want to make BLACKSHEEP use this collection rather than fetching from  
ftp.FreeBSD.org.

And I have another question.  Is there some way to make package without 
having to install it on the machine that makes it?  There are some 
things I want to install on BLACKSHEEP but not on BLACKLAMB.  Can I 
build the package on BLACKLAMB without installing it?  I know I can just 
'pkg_delete' to remove it after it's installed.  But then there's times 
when I want things compiled with different options.  For example, I 
have  the full version of bacula installed on BLACKLAMB.  I'd like to 
use BLACKLAMB to build a bacula "WITH_CLIENT_ONLY=YES" package and 
install it on BLACKSHEEP.  How can I do this without ruining the bacula 
running on BLACKLAMB?

OK, enough questions.  Thanks for any help!!!  I really appreciate it.
