well you can use my repository

export PKG_PATH=http://netbsd.k1.com.br/NetBSD-x86_64-10.1_STABLE/packages

than pkg_add -Uv modular-xorg xdm

You can use your browser to take a look at those 2990 packages 

Please note that it can overwrite things in your system.  as it will pull dependencies...

If you really want an very usable NetBSD 10.1, 

remove all your packages using pkg_delete -ff '*' this will remove all your pkgs

than without logging out, and with PKG_PATH defined to my packages, just do

pkg_add -Uv bash rsync modular-xorg mate-lzt... it will install full mate-desktop

just configure it to run xdm (/usr/pkg/etc/xdm/....) and you have a very usefull NetBSD

Enjoy
