1) com0 == /dev/tty00 (see "man 4 com" and "man 4 tty" for more info)
2) There is no precompiled kermit package for 1.3.3 i386 (I am guessing
that you use i386 since you didn't specify the port). You can download
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
and comple it yourself (for any port):
cd /usr/pkgsrc/comms/kermit
make install clean

  Or, you may want to upgrade to 1.4.1, the latest release version, which
has many improvements over 1.3.3.  There is a precompiled kermit package
for 1.4 at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.4/i386/comms/kermit-6.0.192.tgz
and minicom at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.4.1/i386/comms/minicom-1.82.1.tgz
