 You are right; the missing files seem to be caused by something else:
 fortunes-de depends on games/fortune-strfile, which is only available
 for NetBSD. Despite of this, the build process does not interrupt:
 ....
 ===> Extracting for fortunes-de-0.19
 ===> Required package fortune-strfile-*: NOT found
 ===> Verifying reinstall for ../../games/fortune-strfile
 ===> fortune-strfile-0 is not available for IRIX-5.3-mipseb
 ===> Returning to build of fortunes-de-0.19
 ....
 
 is this a bug or a feature of the pkgsrc scripts?
