Apples and oranges.
1. We don't have binary sets like NetBSD
2. Fetching sources and making/building world is a breeze on DragonFly
and much harder on NetBSD.  They are solving a problem they have, one
unique to them.

The DragonFly build system is pretty good and fetching sources is as
easy as "git pull" once the repository is cloned.
