Not ALL of them :-)  We maintain the "ports" separately... SUP the "pkgsrc"
collection (much like you'd SUP the "src" collected).  Some of the ports
we did not include, because they're part of our source tree, or haven't
been ported to NetBSD yet.

We have also fixed a lot of bugs in the ports stuff.

But, yes, it is really cool and there are quite a number of things available.

Many kudos to agc and hubertf (@netbsd.org :-) for their fantastic work.
