Absolutely. I also wouldn't mind an option to pkg_rolling-replace to have it build new packages as well.
I just started using pkgin and so far, that's a nice piece of work. Orders of magnitude easier than pkg_comp and pkg_chk to deal with; though I realize it's only binary packages; and I haven't needed to do a 'pkgin update' yet... But this is definitely the right direction... pkg_{comp,chk} are great tools for pkgsrc developers; but that's it...
For years, I've complained how unnecessarily difficult it was to _use_ NetBSD because of pkgsrc... Hazzah for pkgin!
