At the moment, I can't think of what could be missing (other than the
necessary Makefile, of course). Since this is pretty much a -current
issue, not a Mac-specific one, you should probably send mail to
current-users@netbsd.org and ask on that list. This kind of question
comes up quite often on that list (although I haven't seen this one in
particular before).
Later.
