I'm very surprised that you're having trouble, as all versions of pg95
that have been released should compile out of the box on NetBSD/i386.

There are two problems that I've seen reported on the pg95 lists:

1.  flex 2.5.3 is buggy, and there's a README.flex file with pg95 that
shows how to get around this.

2.  GNU sed (2.0.5 perhaps, but definitely 3.0) is buggy - use the
good one in /usr/bin.

All this with -current of 17th August 1996, i386 platform, pg95 1.01.

So let's take this off-line - what exactly are the problems you're
running into?
