I don't think this is a good idea.  When using pkgsrc, we are dependant on it.  They update a package and it happens not to work with dragonfly, we're screwed.  Additionally, there is no backlog of old packages (except with CVS tags maybe), so old releases could break.  All in all a horrid idea to me.  Third party software maintenance isn't really soo much of an issue for us, and if it is, we'll have to stick to it (compare: gcc, etc).
