The wip/k3b package is now 2.0.2 and builds on -current.  Should 
build on 5.1 as well.  The bit about not finding devices unless there 
is a disk in the drive is because k3b tries to open the block device 
and that doesn't work on NetBSD if the drive is empty.  That is what 
patch-ah deals with, but I haven't yet updated that from 
k3b-1.69.0alpha4 to 2.0.2 (just haven't found the 15 minutes to look 
at it).
