Depends on the point of view.
It is user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are. ;-)

OK. I expected it to be not that early in developement.
I'll add a warning to the package description.

Yes.

(Though, I am tempted to by a FriendlyARM Mini2440 + tochscreen and
build my own GPS handheld. It is only 115,-EUR.)

Actually /usr/pkg/bin.

Yes.

Ewww??? What the hell is the reason for this? Why not $HOME? ???

I copied qlm to a user-writable directory, made /dev/gps (Why is this
not choosable in the setup?) a link to /dev/tty03 and it was able to
talk to my Garmin eTrexH. That is enough for the moment. I just didn't
want to put a programm into pkgsrc that is not able to start at all.
