Meanwhile I did:

# cp -Rp ~guru/PKGDIR    /mnt

# PKG_PATH=/PKGDIR
# export PKG_PATH
# chroot /mnt pkg_add xorg-7.7
# chroot /mnt pkg_add kde-4.10.5
# chroot /mnt pkg_add vim-7.3.1314
...

# chroot /mnt pkg_info | wc -l
     654

which went fine without any errors (only the normal messages about
creation of users, etc.); I will test the resulting image and report
back.
