Hmmm, a few comments:

- you don't see which pkg directory corresponds to fetch:

#
# Fetch files for gtkmserv-0.5.2:
#

That should be changed to something like this:

#
# Fetch files for audio/gtkmserv (gtkmserv-0.5.2):
#

- it is no longer possible to do a make fetch in a pkg directory,
  nor even in a subdir under pkgsrc.
