Honestly it's unlikely for us to get HFS ready makefs(8) so
I've tried to port OpenBSD's mkhybrid 1.12b5.1 to NetBSD's src/tools.
https://github.com/tsutsui/netbsd-tools-mkhybrid
One major difficulty is that mkisofs (and cdrtools) uses its own
complicated build system using custom configure etc., so currently
the above WIP files use fixed config.h for NetBSD host and also use
src/tools/Makefile.host with libnbcompat.a. Then it won't be build
on non-NetBSD hosts.
It might be better to use cdrtools-2.01 sources but it looks
a bit more complicated (like libscg and libschily stuff etc).
As noted in the README.md, there are several issue on pulling
mkisofs options required for distrib/cdrom/Makefile from newer
mkisofs/cdrtools versions. Currently mkhybrid gets SIGSEGV on
calling free(3) on writing images so I put a kludge to disable
the free().
I'm just tired to debug it, so I'll punt it to github..
