You'll probably have the best luck trying one of two things:

1. Use "ulimit" to allow yourself more open files before you run make.

2. When the build bombs out, pick a package about halfway down the
   dependency tree and install it.  Then go back to the top-level
   package and try again.

Note that if something fails partway through, there shouldn't be any
need to un-install packages or re-install NetBSD; pkgsrc is supposed
to handle this sort of thing gracefully.

Of course, the real problem is (apparently) that the pkgsrc system is
running too many recursive makes.  This is probably worthy of a bug
report, if one doesn't already exist.
