Yes, and stop there. No point in automating more - just like the
web files are generated by various tools from the meta-pkgs/netbsd-www
pkg, the IANA-derived files can be created by whatever tools hidden
in pkgsrc.

Then for an update you do:

 - make sure you have the proper pkg(s) installed
 - download the latest versions and run the import tools on them
 - put the results in you source tree
 - do a full build to verify nothing broke

and finaly either

 - install the resulting etc files on a test machine and run local ATF tests,
or
 - do an Anita test run with the build results

to verify there are no regressions.

Licenses do not matter here, as long as the commited results are properly
licensed.
