As you noticed this was caused by DESTDIR. Another pkgsrc user had same
problem this week.

See

and

I think that DESTDIR breaking that PKG_DBDIR will be removed soon.

You might be able to set DESTDIR in your mk.conf like:

.ifndef BSD_PKG_MK
DESTDIR=/usr/src/NetBSD-new-build
.endif

I don't think MANZ works consistently. I mentioned this last month. Never
received feedback and forgot to PR it.
