 I was able to fix this by setting CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/pkg/bin/bash in the
 environment.  The problem arises from the configure script checking to
 determine if the shell is Bash or not, on line 17.  NetBSD's /bin/sh
 fails with the "invalid option" error, and this step is simply skipped
 in the script, leaving us still running /bin/sh.  Unfortunately, the
 configure script contains several Bash-isms that will cause the script
 to fail later after.  A solution that does not involve modifying the
 code is to simply set CONFIG_SHELL in the environment; I'll leave the
 real fix to the pkgsrc maintainers.
