tech-pkg is a good list to discuss pkgsrc related questions. You can reply 
there if you need to.

In your pkgsrc package use:

USE_NCURSES=	# list functions that are missing just to let us know
.include "../../devel/ncurses/buildlink3.mk"

Alternatively, you could instead use INCOMPAT_CURSES where you could list 
the MACHINE_PLATFORMs (maybe using wildcards) that do not provide the 
ncurses that is good enough for you. (And still include the 
devel/ncurses/buildlink3.mk.)
