Source sets fetch and installation support has been added no January 2012:
http://www.nerv.org/~ryo/netbsd/netbsd/?q=id:20120110T210248Z.e7b773e25cefde5f50668990b9ce1a7b93a89cfe

But source sets menu is shown during binary set installation and
usually install media doesn't contain source sets, so its settings
are a bit confusing, as filed in PR install/45972:
http://gnats.netbsd.org/45972

Now sysinst in 6.0 and later has "post-installation configuration menu"
support:
http://www.nerv.org/~ryo/netbsd/netbsd/?q=id:20120406T234854Z.30c07b08991e0a1073a649e35efa9d1bbb5779c2
and it also includes pkgsrc fetch support.
It is completely separated from NetBSD base set binary installation.

So it's much better to move the existing "source sets installation"
into a part of the post-installation configuration menu.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use sysinst, and try to install both source sets and pkgsrc sources.

>Fix:
Changes should be trivial:
 - Revert the original source fetch menu changes
 - Add source sets installation menu in post-inst config as pkgsrc
