You need to build your tools first.

http://netbsd.org/Documentation/current/

Updating an existing system (top)

    This involves building and installing a new kernel first, then updating 
the userland to match. If you have any problems, see the UPDATING file.

        * Build the toolchain.
          From the root of the source tree, run './build.sh -t'. This will 
build a toolchain in tools/obj/tools.<hostplatform>/bin.
        * Build and install the kernel.
              o cd sys/arch/ARCH/conf
              o .../tools/obj/tools.<hostplatform>/bin/nbconfig GENERIC
              o cd ../compile/GENERIC
              o .../tools/obj/tools.<hostplatform>/bin/nbmake-ARCH
        o make install (this will rename /netbsd to /onetbsd and install the 
new kernel as /netbsd).
        * Reboot into the new kernel
  * Run ./build.sh
