You can use ftp to fetch things in a similar way to wget (ftp and http 
URLs).

It's the easiest.

cd /usr
ftp http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/pkgsrc.tar.gz
tar xzf pkgsrc.tar.gz
(create / customize /etc/mk.conf)
cd pkgsrc/net/wget
make update

The most recent binary packages are from six months ago (2012Q4), but I'm 
in the process of setting up a new pkgsrc bulk build so we'll have 2013Q2 
binaries soon.
