You also don't have a FreeBSD, Linux, Haiku, or Solaris machine to test
on, though pkgsrc runs there...  I don't know what your changes look like,
but it may be clear whether it has a negative effect or not just from
looking at it.

A unified diff should work.  Send a PR through the support section on the
NetBSD website:

http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd

Pick "pkg" for the category.  This worked for me last time I did it.
