as already stated by you, this is half of the fix for PR install/9582.
Doing the same for pkgsrc is mostly copy&paste (I've already done that), but
it's not very clean.
To fetch pkgsrc, you cannot use the ftp directories as used before, because
they are rooted in the netbsd/ directory. To fetch pkgsrc, you'd have to use
a ../pkgsrc/ in the pathname.
Do you really want that? Or rather change the ftp root directory (which might
not be reliable)?
I'm afraid I don't have a quick and easy answer to that question.
That's part of the reason why I didn't add pkgsrc installation support
myself at the same time as the src installation support.

I have some (ugly) patches which add some stuff to sysinst, pkgsrc install being one of them. I haven't done anything with it in a couple months, because I didn't get much feedback.

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-install/2012/01/23/msg000223.html was the original message, and the patch is here:
