I don't see it. When I select the menu entry for the NetBSD boot loader, the 
menu freezes. I cannot move to another entry, or do anything else except 
rebooting the virtual machine. 
In /var/log/messages on the server I can see the download the NetBSD boot 
loader :
arreat tftpd[8834]: pxemachine.anotherhomepage.loc: read request for 
netbsdpxe.0: success

Then I get the DHCP request and response :
arreat dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:d3:8f:2d via re0
arreat dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.6.199 to 08:00:27:d3:8f:2d via re0
arreat dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.6.199 (192.168.6.60) from 
08:00:27:d3:8f:2d via re0
arreat dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.6.199 to 08:00:27:d3:8f:2d via re0

In /var/log/auth.log : 
arreat rpcbind: connect from 192.168.6.199 to getport/addr(nfs)
arreat rpcbind: connect from 192.168.6.199 to getport/addr(mountd)

I also tried redirecting the boot.cfg request to tftp in the dhcpd.conf 
request. When using this, auth.log does not see anything and I get 2 read 
requests in /var/log/messages for boot.cfg : 
arreat tftpd[15548]: pxemachine.anotherhomepage.loc: read request for boot.cfg: 
success
arreat tftpd[15548]: pxemachine.anotherhomepage.loc: read request for boot.cfg: 
success
