	NetBSD uses 'shadow' style password by default - see
	'man pwd_mkdb' or
	http://www.flame.org/cgi-bin/uncgi/hman?page=pwd_mkdb

	I've just added the following to
	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html#mk.conf
	Does this help?

/etc/mk.conf can be used to define certain variables for the package
system. It is not present by default, but can be created when needed.
Among the many values which can be set are: 

	- ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES=non-commercial-use fee-based-commercial-use
          Inform the package system which licences are acceptable. 
	- WRKOBJDIR=/usr/obj/pkg
          Extract and build the packages in /usr/obj/pkg. 
	- PACKAGES=${PKGSRCDIR}/packages/${OS_VERSION}/${MACHINE_ARCH}
          When binary packages are made, save them in an OS_VERSION and
	  MACHINE_ARCH specific subdirectory. 
	- USA_RESIDENT=NO
          Used by some programs to determine licence authorisation. 
	- USE_RSAREF2=NO
          Whether or not to use RSAREF2, for example in ssh. 
	- DEPENDS_TARGET?=package
          Automatically build and save binary packages on dependancies
