Compiles and installs fine on sparc 3.0_beta.

Minor nits:

(1) The interactive setup of /dev/modem won't mix well with bulk builds.
And since you can change the device in setup, it looks like a pointless
exercise, anyway.

(2) In some places minicom ignores the PKG_SYSCONFBASE setting:

[hauke@pizza] ~ > minicom
minicom: there is no global configuration file /usr/pkg/etc/minicom/minirc.dfl
Ask your sysadm to create one (with minicom -s).
[hauke@pizza] ~ > fgrep PKG_SYSCONFBASE /etc/mk.conf
PKG_SYSCONFBASE=        /etc

and later in 'minicom -s' setup a 'Cannot write to
/usr/pkg/etc/minicom/minirc.dfl".


Btw:

[hauke@pizza] /home/hauke # pkg_delete minicom
===========================================================================
The following users are no longer being used by minicom-2.1,
and they can be removed if no other packages are using them:

        uucp

===========================================================================
===========================================================================
The following groups are no longer being used by minicom-2.1,
and they can be removed if no other packages are using them:

        dialer

===========================================================================

-- is there any way of educating pkgsrc about system accounts and have it
not advertise them for removal?
