This reminds me, I hacked together some bits to pkgize the base system
last weekend:

  # cd /usr/src/bin/ls
  # make install
  # pkg_info -e netbsd-'*'
  netbsd-bin-ls-1.4Q
  # rfhpc8321# pkg_info -qL netbsd-bin-ls-1.4Q
  //bin/ls
  //usr/share/man/man1/ls.1
  //usr/share/man/cat1/ls.0

Works for most dirs in /usr/src so far, MLINK handling is not ok yet. If
someone wants to play with it, .include the script at
http://www.feyrer.de/Misc/pkgize-system.mk from your /etc/mk.conf. This
also works for DESTDIR bilds, which creates binary packages instead of
registering them locally:

  # cd /usr/tmp/releasedir/binary/pkgs
  # ls netbsd*
  netbsd-lib-csu-1.4Q.tgz                 netbsd-share-mk-1.4Q.tgz
  netbsd-lib-csu-i386_elf-1.4Q.tgz        netbsd-usr.sbin-user-1.4Q.tgz
  netbsd-lib-libarch-1.4Q.tgz


Implementation details (in case someone cares): all files installed via
$INSTALL are put into the pkg's PLIST, any subdirs are reworked into
dependencies, i.e. the netbsd-bin-1.4Q package depends on
netbsd-bin-{cat,chio,chmod,ls,...}-1.4Q.
