You should also note that pkgsrc-current.tar.gz could be up to a
week old.

Alternatively you could do (and what I use to get pkgsrc current
and keep uptodate):

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot
cd /usr
cvs checkout -A -P pkgsrc

And then to update do

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot
cd /usr/pkgsrc
cvs update -A -Pd
