I found it here: /usr/pkgsrc/mk/platform/NetBSD.mk

Reading this file reveals:

.if (!defined(INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED) || empty(INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED:M[yY][eE][sS])) &&
 !defined(DEBUG_FLAGS)
_STRIPFLAG_CC?=         -s      # cc(1) option to strip
_STRIPFLAG_INSTALL?=    -s      # install(1) option to strip
.endif

So I am now experimenting with these lines in /etc/mk.conf:

COPTS+=-g
INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED=yes
_STRIPFLAG_INSTALL?=--only-keep-debug

in my attempt to produce a "gdb-debuggable" executable for a given
pkgsrc package.

Comments, excoriation, retribution, praise, condemnation, etc., will
be gratefully received. <g>

Best &c.,
