A better solution is -current. I believe it has better support than pkgsrc on OpenBSD. With pkgsrc, you are dependent on the NetBSD tree, and responsible for dealing with library and libtool and dependency issues on-your-own, without any support. -Current is much easier to deal with. You install snapshot packages, when available and syncronizable, and build from ports, otherwise. If you have a problem with a -current port, you can report it to the maintainer or to ports@. With pkgsrc, you have nowhere to go.
