You should probably check the NetBSD FAQs for X info. Or, if you
running i386, xfree86.org (or xfree.org, one of those). 

If you downloaded all the x sets, you should have all the libs in order
to run. Add /usr/X11/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf, and run ldconfig (as
root). That puts all the X libs in the 'path' for other proggys to use.

/usr/X11/bin/xf86config (if your running i386 port) to configure you
monitor and card, then run 'startx' to get it all running. the config
part takes most of the time, and can be a biznitch if you have funny
hardware.

good luck,
