package that require user interaction are marked with IS_INTERACTIVE=yes,
and if you set BATCH=YES in your /etc/mk.conf, these packages are skipped.
Of course it would be nice to decrease the number of interactive packages,
see [1].

You will face another problem when you simply compile things starting at
pkgsrc root: conflicts. A more proper way is to install a package, build a
binary package, then deinstall everything, and go to the next pkg. The
soon-to-come bulk targets will do that.

[1] ftp://smaug.fh-regensburg.de/pub/NetBSD/pkgstat/20000718.2304/broken.html
    is the output of the last bulk build, of the 70 unpackages packages, 
    quite a number are interactive (not all, though!)
