I still think it does. You can set PKG_PATH to point to multiple FTP
sites (the public with the non-restricted pkgs and your own with your
own home-built pkgs). If you're running these restricted packages on a
machine without a portstree .. where did you get them in the first
place ? The same mechanism applies, me thinks ;)
