almost forgot: to build for a altername version of NetBSD the first
package you'll want to install in the chroot is pkgtools/libkver.
The packages you create will still work without that, but you'll get
warning about mismatched OS vesion when you install the packages.

as for building for an alternate arch, you can probably leverage the
crossbuilding tools from /usr/src, but I don't know what you'd need to
do to get pkgsrc to use those.
