Oh, my. Considering the size of pkgsrc this could take a while to set up... 
:-/ Are there any helper scripts for this? Can I set up config recursively? 
For example:
pkgsrc/
pkgsrc/{configs}
pkgsrc/devel
pkgsrc/devel/{configs}
[... other categories]

That way I'd only need to declare the root level categories in 
pkgsrc/configs and could list the individual pkgs in the category subdirs.

I see. Can I then still diff against the entire tree to see what changed 
(compared to last commit)? I consider something like that quite usefull to 
see what is different in my tree.. (I know I could use cvs up -nq to see 
what's different compared to the CVS tree, but that needs network access.)
