pkgsrc can go anywhere you like; it's the "src" tree that has restrictions.
As I said before, it's not unreasonable to expect anything residing
underneath "src" to be compiled with the same methodology as the rest of the
NetBSD base system source tree.

pkgsrc is *NOT* a component of "src" and should not reside under "src".
This is not an articfact of the new toolchain -- it's just something that
people have lucked out on in the past.  I've specifically never put "pkgsrc"
under "src" because I knew from the start that is would be a _broken_ setup
if done that way.
