Bash compiles on a lot of platforms, have you tried downloading it from
ftp.gnu.org and compiling it?
I don't like/use bash so i don't install it, I use zsh, and netbsd has a
package for it:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/....packages/All/zsh....
just download and type "pkg_add zsh...."
(.... signifies i'm too lazy to find the exact filename/URL so you find it
out :) )
you might want to symlink /usr/pkg -> /usr/local like so:
cd /usr/
ln -s local pkg
good luck,
