right! I miss read the instructions I was using...
but still....

cd /usr/
cvs -d anoncvs at anoncvs.us.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co pkgsrc
set PATH=/usr/pkgsrc/bin:$PATH
export PATH
cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
./bootstrap --pkgdbdir=/var/db/pkgsrc --prefix=/usr/pkgsrc
cp work/mk.conf.example /etc/mk.conf


# cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/tnftp && make distclean && ./configure

I don't know why this doesn't work.....

if ! HAVE_DIRNAME
char    *dirname(char *);
#endif


But this "patch" fixed it for me...

context: this is a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE base install.

I like the OS portable nature of pkgsrc.
