  | By any chance, are you using amd (automounter) on the system which is
  | experiencing these failures?

No.  No amd.

There is a bunch of NFS client stuff (no server), but not anything that
should in any way be affecting /var/cron (or anything like it).  All NFS
mounts are under /home and /local (ie /home/* and /local/* are NFS
mounted - the names matching what we use on lots of other systems, which
is why the NetBSD unusual "/local" is used...)

Everything other than /home/* and /local/* is FFS (locally moounted),
except /kern /proc and /tmp (kernfs procfs and mfs resp).

ie:...
