By "makefiles" are you referring to the ports/Mk stuff, or are you referring to actual Makefiles for src/usr.sbin/pkg_install (which is ultimately where pkg_trans should go)?
I'm thinking of ports/Mk - I suspect it will get hairy to add pkg_trans to the "make install" and similar processes on the ports.
And I assume by "ruby" you're referring to the portupgrade tie-ins.
Yes.
