Bingo.  I had removed those lines from my kernel config, too long ago
to remember by the time I noticed the problem. I've just put them back,
compiled a new kernel, and now I have Ethernet again. Thank you for the
quick diagnosis.  Thanks also to Greg for his suggestion.

For the benefit of future readers of the list archives,
http://www.netbsd.org/support/hardware/mii.html
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHY_%28chip%29
give some idea of the role of the <foo>phy* drivers, and of why it was
silly of me to remove them.

Grateful regards,
