I am not aware of any PCI ADSL modem that works under NetBSD. There were
some binary Linux drivers(kernel modules) for Itex based cards year or
so back but fully unofficial and unsupported.

Could be that newer PCI modems have NIC integrated and in that case they
should work. (basically they are no diff then external modem apart from
being packed up on single PCI card).

Note that in general external modems provide "better" connection. Older
PCI ADSL modems are known not to work when u are few km away from the
local exchange or when phone line quality is not so great.
