These are the directories under /usr/pkg on NetBSD based upon packages I installed. But setup depends upon OS and the person who set it up. I never heard of inv, maybe inv is a mac thing.

     bin   | include | pkgdb.refcount
     dict  | info    | pkgsrc
     etc   | lib     | qt5
     gcc12 | libdata | qt6
     gcc14 | libexec | sbin
     gcc16 | man     | share
     gnu   | pkgdb   | tests
On NetBSD /var used for logs other data. But I suppose someone could configure under 'pkg' if they wanted to,

Probably not, then. The /pkg hierarchy on macOS doesn't look like that at all - there's no /pkg/bin, only /pkg/env/global/bin, where /pkg/env/global is a symlink to a subdirectory of /pkg/inv/envs.
