That seems entirely reasonable to me.  SIP breaks lots of things that
advanced users on macOS rely on, like DTrace, and I would classify
manually building pkgsrc as belonging to that category.

It's worth mentioning that this is only for building.  Installing
pkgsrc binary packages has no such requirement.
