I don't if the -p argument should be /usr/local, I don't think so. Anyway, you can test and see what happens using -p /tmp that should create something in /tmp that you can then just delete. I know on 6.x that mtree is run on 'make installworld' to update the directory base tree, but I'm not sure if it is run for /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 since these are not part of base. For 4.x I don't remember.
