I have not had time for a while. But here are some links:

Definitely. The pkg_install (like pkg_add, pkg_delete) tools honor the 
PKG_DBDIR environment variable or the "-K" option to choose the  package 
database directory. I would suggest using different LOCALBASES for these 
packages though.

(Also pkgviews worked for me in the past.)

By the way, I do have access to a fast DragonFly build machine. And have 
been committing some "pkgsrc" fixes ...
