Niklas Rosenvik suggested a different solution to this, have you tried
his version?

Hi, Greg.
This has been fixed in pull-up ticket 120 for NetBSD 10 .
Also see pkg/57232 on how to fix it.
I your case, uninstall qemu ,update to NetBSD 10 with the fix, run make
update in x11/libxkbcommon. Now you can install and rebuild qemu
without the problem. The reason for the problem is that libxkbcommon is
using the wrong directory /usr/X11R7/share/X11/xkb that it has taken
from xkeyboard-config.pc during build time. Using
/usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb that is the right directory in
xkeyboard-config.pc and rebuilding libxkbcommon fixes the issue.
