Another option might be VMailer, http:// www.vmailer.org/ . To quote 
the website:

"VMailer is Wietse Venema's attempt to provide an alternative to
sendmail that is fast, reliable, and hopefully secure, and that can be
freely redistributed in source or binary form, with or without
modifications." 

The FAQ claims that it runs on FreeBSD 2.x (amongst others), so it
should not be too hard to get it running om NetBSD. Unfortunately it's
still in (closed) alpha test.

Regarding the licensing issue: IANAL, but the licensing terms
(http://www.clark.net/~proberts/vmailer/COPYRIGHT.html) look
reasonable to me.
