GNU poke: The extensible editor for structured binary data
It's a bit overkill for only building Poke, but you can use Pkgsrc [1] to do so on macOS:
Bootstrap Pkgsrc:
git clone https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git

ImportError: No module named libvirt
Looking at pkgsrc/sysutils/libvirt/PLIST it doesn't look like the package provides any Python bindings -- which is what the "ImportError: No module named libvirt" error message is about. You could try py-libvirt from pkgsrc-wip and see how that works out.

Using NetBSD’s pkgsrc everywhere I can
The repository of record is CVS, but you can - like many of us do - use either the HG export (https://anonhg.netbsd.org/pkgsrc) or GitHub (https://github.com/netbsd/pkgsrc) instead.
At some point we will transition the repository of record to something else, but it's being done carefully. We want to do it right, and there aren't many volunteers willing help with the work.

What OS would you use for a server?
FreeBSD does have "Focker" using Jails rather than lxc but since Docker images are really just chroots of Linux binaries, you don't get the convenience of the "Docker store".

Evaluating FreeBSD Current for Production Use
It does not. You would have to run a VM like OSX and Windows do. Devs have not wanted to build in standardized ergonomic wrappers around jails like Docker and you'll get shouted down in the user forums over it. Though there are tools (iocage, Bastille, etc.) that make it easier to manage it. https://github.com/sadaszewski/focker is an attempt to get the pieces together like Docker and docker-compose using some files, jails, and ZFS.

Self Hosted Roundup #5
Have you seen that Focker, a Docker style (with similar configuration and tools) Freebsd jail management system, is hitting its 15 year anniversary this year and isn’t getting a whole lot of attention. https://github.com/sadaszewski/focker . It released v2 a few months back and has a fairly active developer.
