When did you start to work on your py-tortoisehg? The tortoisehg in
pkgsrc-wip was added on 13 february 2014.
Thanks for pointing about ${RUN}, this was new to me.

There is one thing not mentioned in the diff you sent that is different 
in the Makefile on your github account. You are using distutils more
properly by using distutils.mk. I think you should add this to the
changes you make:
Remove PYDISTUTILSPKG=yes ,replace extension.mk with distutils.mk and
update the PLIST. Default PLIST changes means also to bump PKGREVISION.

The reason is to silence a warning that is displayed after running make.
WARNING: *** Please consider adding c to USE_LANGUAGES in the package
Makefile.
This one comes up when the Makefile includes the line 
USE_LANGUAGES=	#none
this is put into it by url2pkg then url2pkg can't find any c, fortran
or c++ files.
The warning can be silenced by not having an USE_LANGUAGES line at all 
in the Makefile(I guess since USE_LANGUAGES=c is the default) so you can
remove it. It will look better that way. :)
