That is a bald–faced lie! I am probably the last person who tried to bootstrap pkgsrc on OpenBSD around times of OpenBSD 4.6 for education purposes. It failed miserably. Since then I learnt that pkgsrc even on NetBSD itself is tested only on amd64 maybe i386. NetBSD guys use cross compiling for all other architectures which means that pkgsrc is likely to fail on let say NetBSD VAX port because it has not been tested on the real hardware. Their support for other OSs is verbal at best. DragonFly switched to DPorts after couple of years fighting pkrsrc. MINIX is still using pkgsrc but MINIX is little bit more alive than GNU/Hurd. Unless somebody show me that pkgsrc actually works on Solaris, HP UNIX or anything else I don't believe a single PR bullshit from pkgsrc documentation.
