pkgsrc

Hello hpcmips-folk:

Can I compile a package from pkgsrc without having pkgsrc on my local  
machine?

That is, is there a set of tools that will go get the source via ftp,  
bring it back to my machine, and compile it locally?

If there is (if this is how it *does* work), it wasn't obvious to  
me.  Sorry.

Thanks,
Tom

Sorry for so many questions here. . .just trying to learn all I can!
