Looks good.
One question that could arise while reading is how to relocate everything 
from ~/pkg to something else. I *think* setting --prefix alone would be 
enough, so maybe change the wording a bit:

``[...] as it will choose and use multiple default directories under 
<filename>~/pkg</filename> as the installation targets. The location of 
that directory can be changed using the "--prefix" option, the location of 
all directoriescan be overriden by all the flags provided by the 
<command>bootstrap</command> script.</''

The update procedure of the guide is documented in 
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/editing.html#procedure
I don't understand the XML framework to help debug problems there, maybe 
post a detailed error report (output of "make clean ; make" in 
pkgsrc/doc/guide, ...) on netbsd-docs@NetBSD.org.
