No, I mean /usr/src.
The problem seems to be in the package tools themselves. This url 
tells you how to get the sources:
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/updating.html

They do take quite a bit of space, however. I have a 2gig drive, and 
with both pkgsrc and src and normal install of 1.6.1, I using about 
70% of my drive.

I do have a /usr/sbin which is where the /usr/src/usr.sbin sources 
put their output.
