I've wondered about this too; the last time this bit me when updating a
bulk build, I ended up using pkg_delete -ff to get rid of _everything_ and
rebuilding from pkgsrc/pkgtools/bootstrap.  This may be more catastrophic
than you want.

The best thing may be to ask on the pkgsrc-users at netbsd.org mailing list. 
I'd like to know the best answer too.
