Would you please try to explain what you think the actual problem is
instead of just dismissing out of hand?

Even if my system is outdated to some extent (and it's less than one
year old), there's no excuse why ghostscript alone, out of hundreds of
other packages, should have to be unsupported on it.

I really cannot believe it has anything to do with the particular
release of NetBSD I'm using either.  Nothing in NetBSD should ever
define VERSION or RELEASE_DATE, so I can't see any newer release
suddenly making definitions or declaration for those identifiers
available, and certainly no older release will do so either.

Indeed from what I can tell so far these two identifiers should be
defined by gimp-print, not by gs, and thus the fact they are missing is
something in the way pkgsrc is integrating gimp-print into gs, and that
(at least on first glance) would appear to be an issue with pkgsrc.

If there's some very serious bug in the base OS that could cause this
but which existed only for some very short time during which my NetBSD
release was cut then I'd sure as heck like to know what it is so that I
can fix it in a more timely fashion than I can upgrade the entire
system.

Unfortunately a build attempt on 1.3.3 doesn't seem to get that far, but
at least in this case it's a little easier to blame the platform than
the package, and maybe not even to blame pkgsrc:
