Yes.
On a server I enabled NFS to share a "netbsd" kernel (which was gunzipped
netbsd-INSTALL.gz which incluses sysinst). And I turned on DHCP service
configured for PXE to boot using the pxeboot_ia32.bin file.

A few years ago, I modified a sysinst so it would only have one question
and then did autodefaults for all the rest of the steps. I used it in a
classroom so I could do quicker, mostly unattended, installs.
