I actually thought that you implied that you made a NetBSD pkg of it?  I

It'll be part of Packages.txt.

If you want a fairly clean example of it, and can legally fetch rsaref, do
so, "make patch," and compare source/Makefile.orig and source/Makefile.

There's only one NetBSD pkg thus far that uses such a fetch method.  In

even if just for simplicity's sake in bsd.pkg.mk.  That file is over 50k,
and growing by the minute....
