I decided that I wanted my computer to be more of an appliance and less of a hobby, so when NetBSD 3.0 came out, I gave up pkg_comp.  Now, I just use the binary packages on ftp.netbsd.org.  It's such a joy to not have to wait around for packages to build.  They just install!

I would use them, but I use X.org from pkgsrc, and all of the binary 
pkgs on the FTP are built with the base X11 :/.
