Yes, it contains entries from older XFree distributions.
Just take a look at the libraries in the xfree file, e.g.

lib/libX11.so
lib/libX11.so.6
lib/libX11.so.6.1
lib/libX11.so.6.2
lib/libX11.dylib
lib/libX11.6.dylib
lib/libX11.6.1.dylib
lib/libX11.6.2.dylib

Btw, what are these *.dylib files?

It will, you can't use pkgsrc anymore with older NetBSD version which have
an older XFree86 version.
And there are people who don't use the pkgsrc XFree86-libs at all or use
cvs versions of XFree86.
