 This is BS.  The PR is about packages having requirements that
 are met differently by the system.  The user, and therefore
 PREFER_PKGSRC, is not involve.  Sure, PREFER_PKGSRC would fix it, but
 how can the user know the problem exists beforehand?

 Again, not the user's choice.
 
 You should leave that PR open at least until the latest NetBSD version
 whose libintl wasn't satisfying enough is no longer supported :-)
