There is a package system for NetBSD, which will allow you to easily build
third-party programs. Just run 'make install' in the directory you want and
it will download the sources, patch it if needed, run configure with the
rigth arguments, compile and install. You can find more details
on http://www.netbsd.org/ (sorry, I'm offline so I can't check the exact
URL). the pkg system is available from:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tgz
