The best option would be to install netbsd-5 branch system, as ext2 is a part 
of NetBSD OS and not an external module.
If you do not want to recompile the system, you can start from here: 
http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5/ and
get the binary packages.

It is far better to use the native kernel driver.
