Actually, no, you don't need a permanent connection. F'rinstance, my NetBSD
machine is on a dialup.

All you have to do is fetch the tars mentioned in
/usr/pkgsrc/<whatever>/Makefile by hand, and stick them in
/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles. Then you make && make install, and you'll have a
nicely NetBSD patched binary, installed in a NetBSD friendly place.

Cheers,
