Welcome on board :)

> NetBSD's pkgsrc has quite a number of patches for various games,
> mostly to make them build. You can see the list of packaged games at
>        http://pkgsrc.se/games
> and the patches in the */patches directories below
>        http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/games/?only_with_tag=MAIN

It would be good to make a wiki page with all the URLs in every
distro/system like that :)
