The update is done [0], thank you for pointing this out, and providing
diffs. 
Please note that ncdu 2.8 is out already, but it requires zig 1.4, which
is not available on pkgsrc yet, and updating a lang/ package right before
a freeze is not ideal.

I tried to make ncdu2 build with NetBSD native curses library, but it
fails at `ui.zig' with:

    error: expected type 'c_int', found 'u32'

I don't know anything about zig, so for now the package keeps depending
on ncurses.

pkgsrc would really benefit from having more contributors target any
platform other than NetBSD. 

Hints to get started: 

* Submit updates and patches for macOS as PRs on GNATS [1]. You may as
  well just send bug reports if you find any.
* Request pkgsrc-wip commit access [2], and import desired updates as
  new, temporary packages (to be deleted once they get merged in the
  main pkgsrc tree).
* Participate to the community be getting involved here on pkgsrc-users.
