That's *pkg_tarup* command.

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5/i386/All/pkg_tarup-1.0.1.tgz

For examples, if you already installed lynx and would like to back up its
binary on your system, 

nana$ pkg_info | grep lynx
lynx-2.8.4.0b16     Alphanumeric display oriented World-Wide Web Client

Just type "pkg_tarup lynx-2.8.4.0b16" as root, and binary will be
created in /tmp directory. so please move it from /tmp directory
somewhere you want.

Hope this helps,
