It would be very nice if pkg_manage understood the ports directory formats,
instead of requiring the all the binaries are on disk (or cdrom).  That is if I
could do a:

get ports.tar "|tar xvf -"

then run pkg_manage at that level and have it understand the directory
organization, as well as knowing when to fetch the actual distributions to
install.
