The pkgsrc-2009Q1 branch was created in early April, if I recall
correctly.  I don't know if that constitutes what you call a
"release" though.

Some digging reveals that it appears that the announcement was
actually not sent out (yet)...  Hopefully that will be corrected
shortly.

However, the creation of the pkgsrc branches are done on a
schedule; you should expect a new branch about every 3 months.

There are binary packages for the following set of architectures
and NetBSD OS-versions for the 2009Q1 branch (from ftp.NetBSD.org):

5.1G    amd64/3.1_2009Q1
8.8G    amd64/4.0_2009Q1
9.2G    amd64/5.0_2009Q1
7.1G    i386/3.1_2009Q1
9.3G    i386/4.0_2009Q1
9.4G    i386/5.0_2009Q1
4.3G    powerpc/3.1_2009Q1
7.0G    powerpc/4.0_2009Q1
6.9G    powerpc/5.0_2009Q1

I'd say it is "actually released" and it is now being maintained,
i.e. additional fixes are being applied to the branch until the
pkgsrc-2009Q2 branch is created, which is supposed to happen
sometime near mid-year.
