The Retina Monitor defs come from the Retina define monitor
tool that comes on the Retina disk.
All you need to do is make some definitions that suit you, and
put them on the NetBSD side. Then make /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/Retinamondef
a soft link to the monitor definition that you want to use.
Oh, they need to be 8 bit. I don't think the server can deal
with more.
