I noticed that the current base gmp/mpfr/mpc were the same versions as in 
pkgsrc.
though the latter package in pkgsrc is listed as mpcomplex in category math.

I tried to cross-compile NetBSD-current from FreeBSD-current with clang, but 
that failed.

It wasn't really supposed to work anyway.

Next is to try building from NetBSD-6.1_STABLE if that boots.

If that fails, then FreeBSD 9.2_STABLE with gcc-aux.
