Since all of the binary pkgs made available by The NetBSD Foundation are 
built using the base X11 (XFree86), they have problems running on a 
system that's running Xorg from pkgsrc.  You can pkg_add binary pkgs 
that have been compiled on other machines running Xorg without a 
problem.  What makes the difference, I believe, is X11_TYPE in /etc/mk.conf.

I'm running Xorg from pkgsrc too, and I've been using pkg_tarup and 
creating binary pkgs of everything on my machine after building it from 
pkgsrc.  If you trust me not to embed trojans in all the pkgs I upload 
:), I've got all of them uploaded here: 
http://hacktheplanet.homeunix.net/packages/3.0/i386/.

Good luck,
Brian
