	One catch when mixing a few ports into a mostly package based setup
is that the port build often builds dependencies which can then get used by
packages installed later. The trick is to use make install-missing-packages
before building (I used to use pkg install -A `make missing` before I
discovered that). Then pkg lock the port.
