I read Packages.txt and netbsd.pdf guides, but I still don't understand
general methods.

Is there a migrattion procedure to 2005Q1 (which command should be issued,
to update all necessary files)?
What about pkgsrc tree, should it be dowloaded manually?
If so, which file is synced with 2005Q1?

Is it possible to automate this procedures and control it somehow?
I can't use CVS since I can't ssh across firewall.
