It only needs the patch found in this e-mail:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2013/08/30/msg018511.html

and then pkg_install has a bug that I just fixed in both NetBSD's src
and pkgsrc repositories (HEAD). The latest version is required for
signed packages to be handled properly, which is why I am suggesting
bumping the required version.

I would love to see that!
