Yes, that would probably be a good start.

If it is any help, that is not how you load music onto the devices
anyway.  To load up the devices with music you need to use something
like gtkpod which I don't think is in pkgsrc (it wasn't when I last
looked) but all the dependencies it requires are there so there is not
much fiddling involved to get it running.  I was able to load up one
of the "old" 512Mb shuffles with NetBSD and gtkpod.
