To expand on what maya@ said earlier...

Aside from turning off wpa_supplicant, as in:

  | wpa_supplicant=YES

	wpa_supplicant=NO

instead, there is nothing to fix.

VirtualBox doesn't emulate any wireless networks, your NetBSD has no
wireless interface configured, as maya said, wm0 is a wired interface
(in this case, an emulated wired interface).

The network map, if you like, is that your netbsd system has a wired
ethernet connected to your macos host, which is bridging that wired
network to a wireless network.

You don't have to (in fact, you cannot) on NetBSD configure or control
in any way, any of the wireless parameters.   That's all done on the
host (MacOS in your case) where the wireless interface exists.

So there is nothing (real) to fix, nothing to do, it should all just work.

And if for some reason it doesn't, you can always use a virtualbox NAT
configured network instead (though I have no idea how that would work
for IPv6.)
