Both are present, and should have all of the packages currently uploaded:

-rw-rw-r--  1 root  zia      429640 Oct 11 14:38 pkg_summary.bz2
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  zia      651726 Oct 11 14:38 pkg_summary.gz

I can't say I know offhand how to tell pkgin to prefer one over the other. 
I see someone who likes older machines has also brought this up:

https://github.com/NetBSDfr/pkgin/issues/112

However, it'd be more appropriately discussed on tech-pkg@. I'll send 
something there.

It does both! It runs NetBSD/luna68k as well as OpenBSD/luna88k.
