FTR, I ended up with the following script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Install Python 3 packages reported by pkg_rolling-replace(8) as 
'missing'

to_update=`awk '/missing$/ { print $2 }' /var/tmp/pkg_rr.out | sort | 
uniq`

for ddd in ${to_update}
do
    printf ">>> Installing %s\n" ${ddd}

    cd /misc/pkgsrc/${ddd} && \
        make CLEANDEPENDS=no clean && \
        make package && \
        make install && \
        make clean
done

which should work, provided the pyNN-* packages don't conflict with 
each other for differing NN...

HTH,
hauke
