Yes. The easiest way to get started, though, is to build the "url2pkg"
package, create a directory for your package, "cd" to it, and type
"url2pkg _URI_of_distfile_". Make sure to build "pkglint" and run that
in your package directory, too. If you run into any tricky problems,
ask questions on <tech-pkg@netbsd.org>.
