It "basically" works for me.  Did you use the Emacs package too?
Emacs package patch-ag fixes the elisp, and I add to my .emacs:

  ;; NetBSD package mh library location (cannot be found by normal packages)
  (if (file-executable-p "/usr/pkg/libexec/nmh/mhl")
      (setq mh-lib "/usr/pkg/libexec/nmh"))

However, I only use emacs for composing email and use exmh for
everything else, so may miss the problems you are having.  This is
with nmh-0.23 and emacs-20.2.  The creation time on patch-ag is April
14.

Cheers,

Dave.
