I'll need something to hand out at some roadshows soon, so I've assembled 
a i386pkg CD with NetBSD 3.1 and packages from the pkgsrc-2006Q4 branch.
It's not perfect in that some binary packages are not available and thus 
prevent installation e.g. of KDE, but that's what we have GNOME for, 
right? ;)

Available files:
  * ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/hubertf/netbsd-i386pkg-3.1.iso
  * ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/hubertf/netbsd-i386pkg-3.1.md5
  * ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/hubertf/netbsd-i386pkg-3.1.README

I've also appended the README below.

I'd appreciate if someone could setup some desktop machine and let me know 
if anything substantial's missing.

Thanks!

            Essential NetBSD 3.1/i386 Binary Packages + Install CD

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                    What is it?

    The 3rd party software team of the NetBSD Project is proud to be able to
    provide a CD with the installation files for NetBSD 3.1/i386 and a
    collection of essential precompiled binary packages NetBSD 3.1/i386.
    The packages on this CD are based on the pkgsrc-2006Q4 branch.

    The CD is bootable and contains all the install files for
    the NetBSD 3.1/i386. To install binary packages from the CD,
    mount it under (say) /cdrom, then run:

      # PKG_PATH=/cdrom/packages/i386/All
      # export PKG_PATH
      # pkg_add -v bash
      # pkg_add -v kde
