Um, pkgsrc is a framework to get packages going, not a storage area for
sources of any kind[*]. With this in mind, I'd strongely encourage you to
publish your package somewhere in the usual .tar.gz fashion, and then just
add a package.

That way, people not using NetBSD or the NetBSD Packages System can use it
as well.
