I have 2nd generation of iPod nano.  It also did not work on NetBSD.
However the following commits have fixed the problem.

  http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/source-changes/2006/10/09/0070.html
  http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/source-changes/2006/11/25/0015.html

These are not pulled up to NetBSD 3.x.  Please try NetBSD 4.0_BETA2
or -current (2006/11/26 or later).

best regards.
