confirm bug still exists?

I have an NFS server, /etc/exports reads:

[root at centos ~]# cat /etc/exports 
/home/james/portsold	172.16.128.133(rw)


I mount it on my FreeBSD box:

[root at server /usr]# mv ports portsold
[root at server /usr]# mkdir ports
[root at server /usr]# mount 172.16.128.137:/home/james/portsold ports
[root at server /usr]# ls -l | grep ports
drwxr-xr-x  69 500   500        4096 Dec 30 07:22 ports

On the FreeBSD server:

drwxr-xr-x 69 james james 4096 Dec 29  2009 portsold


Using portupgrade-devel:

[root at server /usr]# portupgrade -a
[Updating the portsdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 21055 port entries found .........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000.........6000.........7000.........8000.........9000.........10000.........11000.........12000.........13000.........14000.........15000.........16000.........17000.........18000.........19000.........20000.........21000 ..... done]

--->  Building '/usr/ports/databases/mysql50-client'


...etc, etc, etc.

The /usr/ports directory isn't writeable:

[root at server /]# portsnap fetch update
Looking up us.portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found.
Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... done.

portsnap: Directory is not writable: /usr/ports
[root at server /]# cd usr/ports
[root at server /usr/ports]# touch something
touch: something: Permission denied


However, it's true that I did do a little hinkying around to get stuff to partially build with an NFS mounted directory.

Anybody able to confirm that the bug still exists as described in the PR?
