+The answer here is to do a "make fetch-list" in /usr/pkgsrc, carry the

+set FETCH_CMD to something that fetches an URL:
+
+At home:
+	cd /usr/pkgsrc
+	make fetch-list FETCH_CMD=wget DISTDIR=/tmp/distfiles >/tmp/fetch.sh
+	scp /tmp/fetch.sh work:/tmp
+
+At work:

+If you have a machine running NetBSD, and you want to get *all* distfiles
+(even ones that aren't for your machine architecture), you can do so by
+using the above-mentioned 'make fetch-list'-approach, or fetch the distfiles
+directly by typing:
+
+	make mirror-distfiles
+
+If you even decide to ignore NO_{SRC,BIN}_ON_{FTP,CDROM}, then you can 
+get all & everything by typing
+
+	make fetch NO_IGNORE=yes
