For me, the normal thing is to build from source with BUILD-NetBSD and
do an overlay install with INSTALL-NetBSD from
pkgsrc/sysutils/etcmanage, following netbsd-6 (or -5 or -7).   Once you
get etcmanage set up, this is nearly trivial, and updates lots of fixes,
not just security patches.

Note that the above is basically "prepare binary update" and "install
binary update".

But, I agree that it would be nice to have a binary auto-update
mechanism supported.
