You mean NetBSD pkgsrc packages? In a word, "no".

When I need to debug a package, I'll do "make clean && make
configure", descend into the build directory, correct makefiles as
needed, come back up and do a "make deinstall && make reinstall" (to
build and install all the ancillary files), then run it under "gdb" in
the build directory.
