Additional note: modification of /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS (or any non-trivial subset of it) is quite dangerous. Once, I had a machine paniced during portupgrade doing the pass of +CONTENTS files, and due to SU, lost almost all of them. It would be helpful if +CONTENTS file were backed up (e.g., moved to +CONTENTS.bak) instead of removed and created.
