A good comparison is the KAME distribution.  In addition to the kernel
IPv6 support, library support, and core programs (ping6, mods to ftp[d],
etc.), KAME ships a number of userland programs of various degrees of
importance.  When KAME was imported, the kernel, library, and core
programs were imported, but many of the fringe programs were either not
imported or were brought into pkgsrc.  They are IPv6 programs, but they
are not things which either had analogies in tree already or which
discussion on the relevant lists deemed appropriate to bring in as added
functionality.  That made them pkgsrc material.

After all, the NetBSD project is not the KAME project.  The two projects
complement each other _very_ nicely, but have different goals and
different guidelines as to what programs belong in-tree.  The same goes
for Heimdal, IMHO, both the part about Heimdall fitting very well in
tree, _and_ the part about not all programs distributed with Heimdal
belonging in the NetBSD src tree...
