Actually, they are position-independent source trees, so they can extract
anywhere.

As to pkgsrc, it's classically been rooted at /usr/pkgsrc, but there was the
change that removed the definition of ${PORTSDIR} to make it
position-independent.

If anything, they belong only under /usr and not under /usr/src, as /usr/src
is only for the base NetBSD sources.
