Log message:
*: Add missing BOOTSTRAP_PKG=yes where required.

These packages are definitely part of bootstrap.  Avoids issue in bulk builds
where an older version of the package may be provided by the bootstrap kit and
the pkg_add test will fail, causing a build failure.  pkg_add does not exit
with an error if the versions happen to be identical, which is likely why this
hasn't been noticed until now.
