Summary and Info:

When PKGDEST is set in makepkg.conf, makepkg should create a symlink to the built package in $startdir. This is so devtools will work even though the package is not in the same directory as the PKGBUILD.
This task depends upon

devtools handles it fine for me when PKGDEST is set to '/var/cache/makepkg/pkg/' ... are you seeing a problem?

Aha, yes, the last time I tried this it didn't work, but that may be because I'm using the PPC devtools (which are older). It was quite some time ago I needed this, I just thought of it now.

This should probably be closed unless you think this feature would be useful for anything else.
