Conclusion, in this moment NetBSD is a useless desktop operativing system, like OpenBSD, MidnightBSD and DragonFLyBSD.

I agree with you, pkrsrc is riddled with errors and by and large, is oblivious to the fact.
If you look at pkgsrc-bulk,
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/
the majority of commits are done by Joyvent and are for non-NetBSD systems. Most of these non-NetBSD systems have their own package infrastructure and I can't see why anyone would use pkgsrc builds over native packages.
All NetBSD packages are built on x86_64 machines - other architectures are cross-compiles. IMHO, pkgsrc needs to quit trying to be all things to all OS's. Instead pkgsrc should focus on providing stable, reliable builds for NetBSD systems
