No, you don't need that. In the olden days, you had:
pseudo-device   vnd         4

which you did need to alter, but since NetBSD 4 this isn't necessary.

Confusingly, but unsurprisingly, vnconfig -l will not list all the 
potential devices. So creating the device nodes doesn't appear to change 
anything until you use them.
