Looks like that URL is dead (DNS squatting?), try:

<http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html>

It does look interesting. Sounds similar to Gentoo's emerge, but
for any *nix.

As usual, anyone is welcome to submit packages according to 
the guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/setup.html> That's where 
the dpkg and rpm packages came from. (They are intended 
to be used to work with src packages from other systems more 
than as Cygwin package managers, though.)
