     NETBSD_RELEASE
             Specifies which version number of NetBSD is installed inside the
             chroot.  If set to `no', no special action is taken (this is use-
             ful if the system version inside the chroot matches the outside
             one).  Otherwise, the file /libkver_osrelease inside the chroot
             will hold this variable's value.  The pkgsrc system will pick up
             this file and fake the uname(1) command's output.  Defaults to
             `no'.

Also read pkgsrc/pkgtools/libkver/DESCR.

(If you don't use it, your packages will be for 1.6 but won't have the right
version number hardcoded in them).

This sounds like a problem building these packages in a 1.6 environment.
