I don't set repo_dir, because the mDNS mirror doesn't need anything out
of that directory.  In that case, it inherits its default, which is only
a problem if we're required to have a cfg_cache.

Remember that we had a conversation about a month ago about turning the
depot into a more modular solution for a variety of pkg(5) problems.  In
this case, try not to think of the depot as a depot, but just the
functionality that we need to implement mirroring a /var/pkg/download
directory, and advertising ourselves over mDNS.
