Abiword 2.8.6 should be stable, sure... I used it as an example ("e.g." means 
that) because you gave the link to abiword to us in your first mail... 

Maybe you want read "The pkgsrc-guide" if you want create a new, non existing 
package.

http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/developers-guide.html
and
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/creating.html

should be good starting points...

Best regards,
Helge
