That should work on NetBSD as well. From libexec/ld.elf_so/paths.c:

		doing_path = *b == '/';
		if (doing_path) {
			size_t tmp = len - 1;
			while (b[tmp] == '#' || b[tmp] == ' ' || b[tmp] == '\t')
				tmp--;
			path_p = _rtld_append_path(head_p, path_p, b, tmp + 1);
		} else {
			char tmp = b[len];
			b[len] = '\0';
			_rtld_process_mapping(lib_p, b, len);
			b[len] = tmp;
		}

Any line starting with '/' in /etc/ld.so.conf leads to a call to
_rtld_append_path().
