It's emacs 24.2nb2, installed using pkgin from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/6.0/All
(arch being amd64)

I've also built it from pkgsrc manually on my other machine, it's
the same version I think.  In any case, I built it a couple days ago,
with a fresh checkout of pkgsrc-current so it's fairly recent.

Cheers,
Peter
