I've now tried it on a 1.5 system with ncurses-5.1 installed, and I
get no compilation error.

Could you please try and update your misc/dialog directory?
e.g. patches/patch-aa should be at least:
myprompt> ident patches/patch-aa
patches/patch-aa:
     $NetBSD: patch-aa,v 1.7 2000/10/31 16:26:34 jlam Exp $

If you look at patch-ac, it adds a HAVE_TRUE_NCURSES check to
dialog.h; patch-aa also adds some HAVE_TRUE_NCURSES stuff to Makefile.

Oh, and try updating pkgsrc/mk, too.

Did you modify any of the files in misc/dialog?

Bye,
 Thomas
