>Description:
I am just getting started with pkgsrc on Mac OS X, and did a bootstrap installation from the git trunk branch using ABI=64 and unprivileged. The bootstrap went fine, but many, if not all, packages seem to require nbpatch-20100124 which has a security vulnerability. If I try to "bmake" that package, I get this error: 

===> Checking for vulnerabilities in nbpatch-20100124
Package nbpatch-20100124 has a arbitrary-code-execution vulnerability, see https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-15:14.bsdpatch.asc
ERROR: Define ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES in mk.conf or IGNORE_URL in pkg_install.conf(5) if this package is absolutely essential.
*** Error code 1

Should I just make the selection to allow vulnerable packages, or is there some preferred way to proceed? Some web searching did not turn up a preferred solution.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd ~/pkgsrc/devel/nbpatch
bmake

>Fix:
