(In reply to John Hein from comment #6)
Re (4).  The policy for INSTALL_AS_USER IS documented in pkg(8) and
pkg-static(8):

    It is expected that the user will ensure that every file
    and directory manipulated by pkg are readable (or
    writable where appropriate) by the user.

So one "fix" for this bug could be no change to anything in the ports tree or
the pkg tool - and users should chown /var/db appropriately when doing 'make
INSTALL_AS_USER=1 ... install'.
