Why is  root an issue? I start and stop test depots all the time on my 
system. I point them to a directory I have write access to (a test image 
in my home directory for example) and have them use an open port, like 
10000 or 12000. I can pkgsend and pkg install from localhost:10000, and 
everything works.
