Building in a chroot is the most useful way, and it avoids
conflicts with the (productive) host installation.

You can look at the pkg_comp package that does exactly that.
You can also use the pbulk system to build in a chroot. To
some degree (and with some hacks) it can also be used to
build for a system with a different OS release than the
host, e.g. to build packages for netbsd-8 when the build
host already runs netbsd-9.
