You're not the first one to have been burned by this behavior. Sigh.

AFAIK, this make pkgsrc-create stuff uses a git mirror of pkgsrc and
defaults to whichever pkgsrc release was current when the DragonFly release
you're using was created.

The standard pkgsrc release/update mechanism is simpler and easier to use
IMHO. Just grab a tarball and cvs update when you feel the need.
At least, you're sure to know what you have installed.

Oh, and grabbing a tarball is _much_ faster than git repo cloning the pkgsrc
mirror.
