Try building pkgsrc/textproc/groff and see if that'll allow you to
install pkg_install.

.if ${OPSYS} == "NetBSD" && !exists(/usr/share/tmac/tmac.andoc)
IGNORE+=                "You need to have the 'text' set installed to build this
 package!"
.endif

tmac.andoc is contained in the groff package. If that works, a send-pr
should probably submitted since 1) the error message is somewhat
cryptic and 2) shouldn't groff be listed as a required package?
