As mentioned somewhere else in this thread on the mailing list, if you 
set PKG_CREATE_USERGROUP=no in your /etc/mk.conf prior to doing "make 
install", or set it in your shell environment prior to running pkg_add 
on a binary package, then package installation will fail and will tell 
you which users and groups to create before the package can be installed.

I'm not familiar with the NetBSD adduser utilities, but you could 
directly edit pkgsrc/mk/install/usergroupfuncs to specify the ranges for 
the uids and gids created by pkgsrc, e.g. ${USERADD} -r 1..100, etc.
