Easy. (Build or) install the NetBSD "misc/rpm" package, then, as root

  rpm --initdb
  rpm -i --ignorearch --ignoreos --nodeps ymessenger-0.93.0-1.i386.rpm

will create the single file "/usr/local/bin/ymessenger"! That answers
your question, but in order to actually _run_ it, you'll need to
install the "emulators/suse_linux" package.

Everything you need to know about the package system may be found at
one of the following URI's, or if not, ask a question here or on
tech-pkg@netbsd.org...
