Me too. Especially it's much easier to rebuilt a binary package with pkgsrc.
I had some examples of RPM for which the sources available in SRPMS were
obviously not the ones used to build the binary rpm (didn't compile, or
not the same version).

I will have to setup solaris, and maybe linux boxes in the near future.
If I could use the NetBSD package for both it would be really nice.
(and ease transition when my NetBSD advocacy campain will have got enouth
