If I understand what you're asking, then it's OK to run any level of
pkgsrc with any level of NetBSD. pkgsrc is supposed to be platform and
OS independent. Just as long as you know what level of pkgsrc you are
running, and what level of kernel you built stuff with, etc (but this
doesn't really matter as long as you keep the compat options in the
kernel).
