It works :-)
I didn't stress it, but it worked as expected on the ports I tried.


But you omitted to tell us how to use it.
You could have told us to patch /usr/ports/infrastructure/mk/bsd.port.mk (which
is, admittedly, obvious to guess), that we have to put the file fake.mtree in
/usr/ports/infrastructure/db/ , and for using it, we should define the variable
FAKE (FAKE=Yes) before invoking 'make package'
(i.e. make FAKE=Yes {install,package} ;-)
