The easier way is to just compile it from source:

cd src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt

edit the Makefile and remove the .if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386" and .endif
lines around the PROG=   ndiscvt.

Then just "make" and it should work:

[/usr/src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt] martin@nelly > ./ndiscvt 
Usage: ndiscvt [-O] [-i <inffile>] -s <sysfile> [-n devname] [-o outfile]
       ndiscvt -f <firmfile>
[/usr/src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt] martin@nelly > file ndiscvt
ndiscvt: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, relaxed memory ordering, version 
1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for NetBSD 5.99.17, not 
stripped


However, the result of the conversion might be useless for your kernel (I
don't know if the ndis framework works at all in 64bit kernels).
