Nothing to do with NetBSD. Get into the UEFI menu and navigate to the
console options.

I just tested this on a UEFI/GPT VirtualBox NetBSD guest; I added a
serial port to the VM, defined as TCP port, connected to it using
putty - raw localhost:<portnumber>. The EFI setup allowed me to enable
the serial console - after which the boot menu appeared on the serial
port.
