The confusion seems to be built into the pkgsrc utilities, e.g., if
you don't specify any directories when running bootstrap, it puts
the mk.conf in /usr/pkg/etc.  But, the pkg_chk utility will look
at /etc/mk.conf by default unless to tell it to look in /usr/pkg/etc.

Very confusing.  Try running bootstrap --help to see what you can
specify.  Not that you would want to change the defaults, but I did
because I was trying to juggle pkgsrc and ports for awhile and got
pretty lost in the fog.
