You should most likely be able to compile one of the versions in
https://github.com/arnoldrobbins/ratfor - it has both the original
version and a branch updated for modern systems. NetBSD 1.3.2 likely
coming somewhere in the middle :)

There is also ratfor77 which is included in pkgsrc
https://pkgsrc.se/devel/ratfor but you would need a newer version of
NetBSD for that :-P
