pkgsrc connects those two.

ok

And if it's as the package management system will the pkgview enabled 
by default ?


Isn't that a build option for every package?

I don't know I can only quote that from $NetBSD: PKGVIEWS_UG,v 1.2

 Next you will need to add the following line to /etc/mk.conf:

	 PKG_INSTALLATION_PREFS=	pkgviews overwrite

 This creates pkgviews packages instead of overwrite packages for any
 packages that support it.  The packages that do support pkgviews
 can be identified by searching the package Makefile for the
 following line:
	 PKG_INSTALLATION_TYPES=	overwrite pkgviews

So it's a build option but the bootstrap doesn't enable that option by 
default
and without that pkgsrc doesn't fulfill the goal of a package management 
system.for Dfly.
Probably I'm worng with that but I want to know
