There are a few chronic difficulties with a few pkgsrc packages, caused by Matt's ongoing changes to the data structures in the kernel. These changes have affected mostly apps which require access to kernel statistics like CPU/memory usage, network load, etc. Things, e.g., that 'top' displays -- and therefore similar userland packages like gnome's libgtop2, and system-monitor-like packages from kde. The other big category of problems I've noticed is with any package that needs access to CD hardware. This is due to changes in the location of header files in the DF source tree. (These are trivial to fix once you know where to find the header files.) So, please build away, and report back with problems. Thanks!
