Thanks for replying Manuel.  Curiously, since posting this question to
the list I've noticed there is an octave package file listed on these
two pages:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/8.0_2017Q2/All/
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/8.0_current/All/

So it seems there's something in 7.x that stops it building.  Anyway,
I guess I'll just have to leave it with adam%NetBSD.org@localhost
