If I recall correctly...  The git repo of pkgsrc from dragonflybsd.org was
originally a conversion from CVS; the NetBSD.org servers now actually have
a git repo to pull from, but it has a different branch name - master, not
vendor. See in your output - there's a 'master' branch, but no 'vendor'.

If you edit /usr/Makefile and change "vendor" to "master" the three times
it appears, it should work.  I am saying this without testing it...
