I am wondering, would it be possible to (automatically) create pkg-plist info for the NO_* targets in make.conf? We could put that into the ports-tree somewhere and if you'd like to remove something completely you can install the dummy port & pkg-plist and use pkg_delete to clean up. It seems to me that it might be possible to add some kind of Makefile hint variables (i.e. define a variable in Makefiles/targets that depend on NO_*) that'd help to generate filelists for the NO_* targets. If this is the case it should be possible to place pkg descriptions into /var/db/pkg during the installworld pass. This would also make it easy to get rid of things after a CDROM install.
