Below is some clarification on how to do a mass build from Jan with NetBSD. 
I'm actually running one as we speak; hopefully it goes well and doesn't 
destroy my box. I'll report progress as it occurs (as the entire build, I'd 
guess, might take a few days).

Yes, it _compiles_ the dependenies, but you'd have to creat packages for
these dependencies as well.

No, you'd build the package using 'make package' from the pkgsrc
directory (pkgsrc/net/6to4/ in your example).  See Packages.txt, Sec.
3.1. 

Just one more word of caution, or advise:  the NetBSD Project only
uploads binary packages created by NetBSD developers.  This is done for
security reasons and is obviously not ment personally, as otherwise the
NetBSD Project could not vouch for the integrity of the packages.  But
don't let this discourage you from creating and providing binary
packages, as this will certainly encourage users and developers alike to
look at them and possibly eventually upload them to our ftp-servers.
