Check if your board also has an ADT chip along with
the windbound chip. The last time I checked NetBSD did
not support the ADT chip and fans controlled/monitored
by this chip would not show up in envstat.

I have written a driver for the ADT7463 chip and
plumbed the sensor measurement to envstat. If there is
some interest I could check and see if the code can be
made open-source.
