This is just the build target included by netcat (and not pkgsrc).
Netcat's build has support for irix, osf, freebsd, bsdi, netbsd, hpux and
other platforms, but not OpenBSD or Interix. (I use lowercase, because
that is what the targets use by netcat's Makefile.)

Thanks for testing.

Yes, that is fine.

Thanks for using pkgsrc!

(By the way, I have been doing some DragonFly installation documentation
