Chasing the source code suggests that you could create a binary
file in the undocumented format expected by __loadtime() in
src/libc/locale/timeio.c, store that file somewhere under
/usr/share/locale, and set LC_TIME to a value that would cause
load_locale_sub() in src/lib/libc/setlocale.c to pass the file name to
__loadtime().

Hmm, the relevant code is only in -current, not even in the netbsd-4
branch.  And the file format is documented in PR 10877, though not
anywhere in the base system.
