It's simple and you don't need routed or gated.
add
options GATEWAY # IP packet forwarding
to your kernel configuration. [Actually you might not need this]
secondly I will assume that you are routeing the other machines through
ethernet. Your NetBSD machine will have 2 IP addresses:
The Slip Interface, I'd recommend x.x.x.129
The Ethernet Interface, I'd recommend x.x.x.67
Point the default route at your netbsd machine's ethernet address for all
the other machines on your network.

I've not used the slip or cslip on NetBSD. I do like PPP on netbsd though.
