tnftp isn't part of bootstrap, and isn't the default tool used for fetching,
so users would need to explicitly opt-in to this.

Oh, I didn't know that. So why are the sources unpacked in our pkgsrc
tree, hysterical raisins?

Yeh:

  https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/9477e39aed460a39e2953fd8d021634d3f963e03

At this point we should probably remove the unpacked tnftp sources, switch it to a distfile, and tweak the logic to build net/fetch if nothing is available on the system.
