Do I have to do this for every portupgrade command, or can I put these environment variable settings in a file, like
/etc/make.conf or /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf ?

I left /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf in the modified state, modified lines being

  ENV['PORTSDIR'] = '/BETA1/usr/ports'
  ENV['PACKAGES'] = '/usr/packages'
  # ENV['PORTSDIR'] ||= '/usr/ports'
  # ENV['PACKAGES'] ||= ENV['PORTSDIR'] + '/packages'


I suppose I could do a portupgrade with -n flag to see if my setup looks workable?
