from kern/kern_sysctl.c, ~line 350:

        case KERN_VERSION:
                return (sysctl_rdstring(oldp, oldlenp, newp, version));

so

	# cd /sys/arch/i386/conf
	# config GENERIC
	Don't forget to run "make depend"
	# cd ../compile/GENERIC
	# make vers.o
	...
	# cat vers.c
	const char ostype[] = "NetBSD";
	const char osrelease[] = "1.5ZA";
	const char sccs[] =     "@(#)NetBSD 1.5ZA (GENERIC) #0: Thu Feb 14 13:44:08 EST 2002\n    andrew@this:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC\n";
	const char version[] =     "NetBSD 1.5ZA (GENERIC) #0: Thu Feb 14 13:44:08 EST 2002\n    andrew@this:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC\n";
	# 

there ya go.
