 OK, so I have some local patches that work great for the following:
 
 
 mkdir -p /usr/pkg/share/terminfo
 tic -x -o /usr/pkg/share/terminfo rxvt-unicode
 
 
 If the path to -o is a directory then NetBSD=E2=80=99s tic will work simila=
 r to ncurses and spit our r/rxvt-unicode.cdb
 libterminfo as been adjusted to pickup /usr/pkg/share/terminfo if $TERMINFO=
 _DIRS is not supplied.
 
 
 This then allows us to adjust pkgsrc to adopt tic as a tool and depend on i=
 t accordingly.
 rxvt-unicode can then use the tic tool and pass the terminfo definitions to=
  it.
 
 
 Once done, all you would have to do is pkg_add rxvt-unicode to get the term=
 info definitions added to the base system automatically.
 Which just saves you the step of following the existing package message of =
 adding it yourself ;)
 
 
 Would this satisfy this issue?
