 Thanks for the update Max, however judging from the manual pages,
 "ifaddrs()" has only been introduced in NetBSD 8, so it doesn't resolve
 this issue for NetBSD 7.
 
 Using the static address lists are fine for my purposes, provided that the
 boot process can ensure that DHCP addresses are assigned BEFORE npf is
 started.
 
 Enabling the dhcpcd "waitip" option (which requires the patch I backported
 from -current) means that dhcpcd will wait for the DHCP addresses to be
 assigned before continuing the boot process, and so resolves this issue on
 NetBSD 7.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Timshel
