I am always fascinated by DragonflyBSD and catch myself peeking everytime some news about it pop up. However I have not had a chance or excuse to fully try it myself yet. A question on their repository and packaging: How do they handle it? Are they simply compatible with FreeBSD packages so most packages from there are just available on DragonflyBSD as well?

DragonflyBSD uses pkgsrc's and Dsynth package management system as far as I know but mailing list of DragonflyBSD can answer better.

  I believe DFBSD uses pkgng, not pkgsrc.

    True. >It is based on FreeBSD's Ports Collection. https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/HowToDPorts/ https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/HowToDPorts/
