There's something wrong with that plan...

Is what you have even a netbsd-mac68k binary? What happens when you
try to execute it from the command line?

It would be to your benefit to familiarize yourself with the NetBSD
package system. Start with
<http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html>. That
will lead you through setting up the package system to build a
package. You may also be able to follow the links to a binary of
ghostscript.

Once you get to where you can type "gs --help" on the command line,
you could try making a link at where your filter package expects the
binary to be, like so:

	mkdir /usr/local/gnu
	mkdir /usr/local/gnu/bin
	cd /usr/local/gnu/bin
	ln -s /usr/pkg/bin/gs

The package system is one of the neat new features of NetBSD. You'll
get all kinds of free software that's (practically) guaranteed to work
on your machine, so please, take a stab at it, and let us know what
you think.
