I don't want to patch /usr/local/go-pkg into the default $GOPATH - that would likely create a bunch of "oh, why is it behaving like that" problems. We could tell people to add it to their Go path if they want to use it, but I'm tempted to only use it for port build dependencies and let non-ports builds stick with 'go get'...
