Longer answer: Probably.

   If you are talking about third-party packages, while the pkgsrc
framework is driven by make, the packages still generally use their
native build processes to handle the details. That aside, your
self-description does sound like a good match for NetBSD, so give it a
shot.

   Best of luck...
