Sounds like a binary package. You would install that with "pkg_add",
giving the filename as an argument.

The "source" for the latest netatalk pkgsrc package would actually be
in "/usr/pkgsrc/net/netatalk-asun", and the binary package would be
called "netatalk-asun-2.1.3nb4.tgz". The asun branch gives you the
ability to talk appletalk over tcp, which I believe you need to serve
files and printers to Macs running the latest versions of Mac OS.

"pkg_add" speaks "ftp", so you could install it directly, on
NetBSD/mac68k, with the command

pkg_add \
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5/mac68k/All/netatalk-asun-2.1.3nb4.tgz

There are also netatalk packages on ftp.netbsd.org for "i386",
"powerpc", and many others.
