10.99.11 is not NetBSD 10.  It is current.   If you are not alrady quite
familiar with NetBSD and able to resolve problems, IMHO you should not
run current.

No, it is saying that the packge is amd64 and the host is i386.

It is likely you should back up data, clear the disk, and reinstall
NetBSD 10.0 release amd64.

Otherwise:

  First, make two good backups.

  Run /usr/bin/uname -a and make sure it says amd64.

  run postinstall check and postinstall fix, after unpacking the etc and
  xetc sets you upgraded to someplace (I use /usr/netbsd-etc).

  cd /dev and run "./MAKEDEV all".

  Delete all packages that are installed.  You may in particular have a
  pkg_install package from long ago that may think it is i386.  You
  should have an empty /usr/pkg, and /var/db/pkg should not exist.

  Then, if everything is ok, build a package.

This is the path to getting packages working on the system you have
installed which is netbsd-current.

Followups to help recovering your system from a cross-arch upgrade to
current when you wanted 10 are best directed to netbsd-users; they
really aren't about pkgsrc.
