you got it from the packages collection?  ie,
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.3.?/mac68k/All/.....

If so you don't extract it by hand but rather with pkg_add.  See 
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.htm
for more information on the package system.  Also, bash is available from
the packages collection and I highly recommend getting it that way.
