 Ok, so we're using the builtin libXxf86dga but xf86dgaproto from
 pkgsrc? No wonder it isn't working.
 
 This seems to be because the API_DEPENDS in bl3.mk for libXxf86dga
 says >=1.0.1 (netbsd-5 has 1.0.2; current has 1.1.2) so that's
 accepted, but for xf86dgaproto it's >=2.1 (netbsd-5 has 2.0.3; current
 has 2.1) so that isn't accepted and it takes the one from pkgsrc.
 
 never mind that it's more important to use matching versions of the
 two packages than the most recent versions.
 
 Other than administering a retroactive beatdown to the xorg guys who
 thought it would be a good idea to distribute libraries and headers
 separately... I have no idea how to fix this or how it should be set
 up in order to have a reasonable chance of working.

 Right, it's not just you (nor is it just this package).
