is pkgng=no valid?

I don't know if this helps; this is on an ERL, and everything appears to
be working properly.

As you can see from uname, I cross-compiled world and kernel; I also
cross-compiled the ports, using poudriere and qemu user-mode (I was
running a jail on amd64 with a mips world using qemu, with the toolchain
replaced with statically-linked amd64->mips cross binaries). It
certainly wasn't fast, but I prefer not to do compilations on production
machines (and 'my VDSL router' is production enough to count).

I had to patch a few things to get everything to work. In particular,
pkg won't build on mips without a patch to strip(1) that stops it from
trying to strip static libraries: there's a bug there that hasn't been
fixed yet.
