If I understand you correctly, then this may help:

# build a binary of the package
quickpkg "/var/db/pkg/${pkg}"

I came up with this (yes, granted it is tied to the file-system layout but
its damn fast!):
find /var/db/pkg -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -print -exec quickpkg {} \;
I was thinking about extending quickpkg to support syntax like:
quickpkg [--deep [--build-deps] ] [--overwrite] <atom>|<target>
<atom> is one or more regular atoms. <target> is any supported target
(currently "world" or "system"). --deep would recursively make packages
of runtime dependencies. --build-deps would include build time
dependencies (which of course aren't actually needed). --overwrite
would cause packages to be created even if they already exist in PKGDIR.
Can I take this thread as an expression of interest in the above?
Anything missing or would be better done differently?
