As you know, NetBSD is booting on a machine, probing it to find out what
the "hardware" has that it can use. The first place to look is in the
dmesg, to see what devices it found. (Perhaps you know that; it wasn't
clear from your message.)
Poking around, it looks like you might be able to use le(4).

The MS-DOS notes say to use "Advanced Micro Devices PCNET Family
(NDIS2/NDIS3) Ethernet driver"
http://www.netbsd.org/support/hardware/pci.html includes:
Advanced Micro Devices Am79c970 PCnet-PCI and other members of the
PCnet-PCI family (le(4))
HTH....
