If you set PREFER_PKGSRC=yes after building some packages then yes, you're holding it wrong. If you change PREFER_* or anything else that changes the dependency tree then you need to clean out and rebuild any affected packages.

You mean „remove all packages from the system and start anew“? But then this system was set up fresh and also the pkgsrc tree was pristine. As time permits, i will try a complete new build during the next days and see if that persists.

If the packages on your system were built by someone else (e.g. you installed some NetBSD binary packages as part of the install process), or by yourself prior to changing PREFER_PKGSRC, then yes, you'll need to rebuild any of the affected packages.

If you make significant changes like PREFER_PKGSRC=yes then it's probably simpler to just bootstrap to a different prefix.
