Yeah, the Makefile for the package should be adjusted to install only on NetBSD, since a check inside the script bombs out without it actually being on NetBSD. This is usually handled through Makefile checks, so you can't build a useless program on a given platform. It hasn't been actively maintained since 2005, probably before DragonFly was even using pkgsrc. You can try submitting a note or patch to [email protected].
