I thought it would too, but it's bombing out for me:

	*** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot
	 *** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use
	 *** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot

	mtree: unknown user `ntpd'
	mtree: failed at line 49 of the specification

	  *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /home/mark/src/freebsd-dev and install files to
	      the temproot environment

I see that line 49 of BSD.var.dist references the new uids, so I guess
there's a chicken and egg problem here?
