I worked around this by using hw.physmem64 instead of the balloon sysctls
when they are not present (this is a 4 line patch).
I also had to patch vif scripts because 'vifname' is not present
on netbsd-5 (not a big deal either).
With both changes, I can start a domU with 'xm create -c' on a Xen 4.1
installation.

As blktap2 isn't useable on NetBSD yet, I disabled it in the package.
We can revisit this later, when blktap2 support is being worked on.

There is also some more plist fixes.

updated package at ftp://ftp-asim.lip6.fr/outgoing/bouyer/xentools41.tar.gz

xl create still fails as before.
Has anybody been able to start a PV domU with xl on a NetBSD dom0 ?
