LFS with pkgsrc


I want to give LFS a go to really have the system I like. I'm using pkgsrc as a package manager on my Slackware machine, I really like it and want to use it for my LFS installation.

What I'm wondering about: is it possible/recommended to install *everything* (so including binutils, gcc, etc...) and not just the non-essential software via pkgsrc? If yes, how would I start that?

I quickly scanned the hints, but I don't see anything on pkgsrc. Do you mean I should use another package manager?
