You could pass this var to pkg-install scripts, too (put it in the
standard *SUB* lists).

That way you don't have to do the dance that was added to
security/clamav/files/pkg-install.in:

if [ -n "%%DESTDIR%%" ]; then
        PW="/usr/sbin/chroot %%DESTDIR%% pw"
        CHOWN="/usr/sbin/chroot %%DESTDIR%% chown"
        MKDIR="/usr/sbin/chroot %%DESTDIR%% mkdir -p"
else
        PW="pw"
        CHOWN="chown"
        MKDIR="mkdir -p"
fi

but rather just:

PW="%%CHROOTDESTDIR%% pw"
CHOWN="%%CHROOTDESTDIR%% chown"
MKDIR="%%CHROOTDESTDIR%% mkdir -p"
