Install /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/compat16

... and then you *may* have to:

ln -s /usr/pkg/emul/netbsd16/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.4.0 \
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.4

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the NetBSD compatibility translation 
stuff works for these libraries via the compat16 package. I think that 
those just install the files: sometimes actually using them requires 
symlinks.. unfortunately.

pkg_info -F /path/to/file

... might give you what you're looking for.
