 Well, yes.  Ideally all of the variables that a user can set to
 affect the behaviour of the common shared Makefiles in /usr/ports/Mk
 will be documented somewhere.  Of the ones you mention, PKG_DBDIR is
 described in pkg_info(1).  LOCALBASE and LINUXBASE are covered in
 The Porter's Handbook.  However, I couldn't find anywhere where
 PORT_DBDIR was described other than the contents of /usr/ports/Mk,
 and it seems to me the natural place to document it is in ports(7).
 
 	Cheers,
