I don't think this is a good idea at all.  For instance, take the -m enhancement for cvs, which I committed some months ago.  I doubt the pkgsrc people would pick up this patch.  Additionally, maintaining pkgsrc as a part of base makes it even more complicated and makes us more dependant on external infrastructure.  Additionally, it would increase build time (all those configures) and we would lose a big share of stability.

Actually, CVS vendor tags aren't that complicated.  I never found out with what people have the big problem.
