The main benefit to me is that I can avoid homebrew and macports, which are utter garbage. There are many other benefits in pkgsrc, including, but not limited to, stable releases instead of rolling release, cross platform support, corporate interest in making the platforms stable, because it's used as a basic building block in Joyent's SmartMachines etc. But all this pales in comparison to the advantage of avoiding homebrew and macports.
