Matt Dillon has announced that the next release of DragonFly BSD will use NetBSD's pkgsrc as its official package management system, instead of "dfports" (FreeBSD's Ports with DragonFly overrides), which had already been abandoned by developers in favour of pkgsrc over the last few months. pkgsrc is a portable package management system, developed by NetBSD, and supports DragonFly officially since October 2004.

Finally I think that pkgsrc-wip is a fantastic idea, it lets amateurs make quick homemade ports so they can cleanly install applications without waiting for the port to be formally made by maintainers.
You can also make "homemade ports" without pkgsrc-wip. Just create your own pkgsrc category directory and create packages there.
