A couple years ago I ran into the same problem on NetBSD.
My local solution was to do exactly this (well, in /usr/pkg,
not /usr/local, but you get the idea). It's worked well
for me and a couple other folks I know. I don't think my
patch for this ever made it into the NetBSD package for
arla, so no idea what other users are doing.
