pci1 is the PCI bus, not the ethernet... since it says the ethernet is
"not configured", you're not going to be able to ifconfig it.

I guess you're running NetBSD 1.5? Try 1.5.1 instead--it looks like
support for that chip was added in 1.5.1.

If you _are_ running 1.5.1, and you've compiled your own custom kernel,
it sounds like you've removed or commented out the:
fxp*    at pci? dev ? function ?        # Intel EtherExpress PRO 10+/100B

line in your kernel configuration file.
