Yep. It's not bad. I cloned the [experimental git repository](http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/repositories/git/pkgsrc http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/repositories/git/pkgsr...) to `/usr/pkgsrc` and was able to install most packages I tried. They seem to lag behind current versions quite a bit and some pieces of software I rely on for work weren't packaged (redis, mongo, etc.).
I used it for a few months but eventually switched over to homebrew because it's a nice simple system and packages most of the stuff I need.
You have to run a case-insensitive filesystem with pkgsrc (I was anyway) and, like macports, it does not use system libraries so pretty much everything needs to be rebuilt under `/usr/pkg`.
It was worth experimenting with. I might check back on it when I get my new MBP. They have [a lot of packages](http://pkgsrc.se/ http://pkgsrc.se/).
