Not sure that's something any OS supports. I've not seen auto layout 
detection even in windows or linux as I'm not sure the keyboards can 
communicate that even over USB.

Normally there is an input selection widget in the UI to switch input 
keyboard layouts. Not sure if the X11 versions of those work in NetBSD.
