In the NetBSD package system, it's the other way round:
'make package' will always install a package before
packaging it up.
I.e., if you always use 'make package' you should get
the same results as always using 'make install' on
OpenBSD.
In /etc/mk.conf you can also set UPDATE_TARGET=package
then you will also get binary packages every time you
run 'make update'.
