So far as I can tell none of the system supplied base applications would
look in /usr/pkg to link with curses so even if you did install ncurses
on a machine on which you built shippable binaries you wouldn't be
including any of the ncurses code, binary or otherwise.

It would indeed be nice if we could get a better curses in the system
sources, but we're just talking about /usr/pkgsrc here (I think).
