I believe this is a symptom of doing a CVS checkout without -P.
Those directories existed in much older versions of netbsd, and
CVS is weird about old directories, you have to use -P so it
cleans them up.

Not sure what the tarball problem is, unless you extracted those into
the same source tree without removing it first.
