The correct list is pkgsrc-users, not tech-pkg.  I've followed up there.

I would suggest compiling it yourself for now.
I use the following script with 2.4.4 (that I have in CVS because for
a while the kerberos support was broken).

#!/bin/sh

INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/amanda"
AMANDA_USER="amanda"
AMANDA_GROUP="operator"

--with-group=$AMANDA_GROUP \

--with-amandahosts \
--with-mmap \
--with-dump-honor-nodump \
--without-smbclient"

if test x`uname -s` = "xDarwin"
then COMMON_OPTIONS="$COMMON_OPTIONS --with-gnutar=/usr/hfstar/bin/tar"
fi


KRB_LOCATION="/usr"
KRB_KEYFILE="/etc/srvtab.amanda"
KRB_PRINCIPAL="amanda"

build_server="no"
build_krb="no"

for i
  do case $i in

    --server)

        ;;

    install)
        make install
        ;;

    *)
        echo "Usage: IR.rules [--server] {build-nokrb|build-krb|install}"
        exit 1
        ;;

  esac
done

configure_options="$COMMON_OPTIONS"

    configure_options="$configure_options $NO_SERVER_OPTIONS"
fi

if test x$build_krb = "xyes"; then
    configure_options="$configure_options $KRB_OPTIONS"
fi

# allow for CVSREAD=t (although these files should not be in CVS
for f in aclocal.m4 configure; do
    if [ -f $f ]; then
        chmod u+w $f
    fi
done
