Add some information about pkgsrc on MirOS.

I am going to try rebuilding the guide files and commit them separately.

+      <para>pkgsrc and MirPorts use the same location for the package
+      database, <filename>/var/db/pkg</filename>. It is strongly recommended
+      to use <filename>/usr/pkg/db</filename> instead, so that the pkgsrc
+      tree is self-contained. This is also the default setting used in the
