Not that this is a solution to your problem but it might be a possibility 
for you to consider, but a couple years back I dropped using make 
package(-recursive) and just scripted out making backup packages using 
something like the following.

_pkg_bld(){
   cd /exports/packages
   for package in `ls /var/db/pkg |sed 's/pkgdb.db//'`; do
     echo "Building package: $package"
     pkg_create -v -b $package >>pkg_bld.log 2>&1
   done
}

Rather simple way to go about creating final packages and from some 
earlier emails to the list there was word of some directories not being 
included in final built packages due to empty directories or something 
like that so be careful when/if considering something like this.

There are additional flags that can be passed to pkg_create to keep it 
from rebuilding the package if it already exists but I have not worked 
that into the above example usage.

At some point I also worked in package signing like so,

_pkg_sign(){
   cd /exports/packages
   for package in `ls *.tbz`; do
     echo "Signing package: $package"
     gpg -u 3588E52D -v -ba $package
   done
}


Good Luck & Regards,
