 I finally understand what is going on. The build is not incomplete,
 "ncurses" uses a different directory structure under Mac OS X:
 
 NetBSD:
 tron@colwyn:~>ls -l /usr/pkg/share/terminfo/z/ztx-1-a
 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  535 Sep 21  2009 /usr/pkg/share/terminfo/z/ztx-1-a
 
 Darwin:
 tron@excalibur:~>ls -l 
/tmp/objdir/devel/ncurses/work.excalibur/.destdir/usr/pkg/share/terminfo/7a/ztx-1-a
 -rw-r--r--  5 tron  shadows  535 21 Jun 09:36 
/tmp/objdir/devel/ncurses/work.excalibur/.destdir/usr/pkg/share/terminfo/7a/ztx-1-a
 
 "7a" happens to be the the ASCII value of "z" in hex. I don't know
 whether this is intentional or an incompatibility between "ncurses"'s
 installation routines and Mac OS X.
 
        Kind regards
