Shared folders and drag and drop are not supported under NetBSD.
Clipboard seems to work just fine for me, though if you are using
xterm make sure you use selectToClipboard, i.e. "Select to Clipboard"
in the VT options menu (ctrl-middle click).

A package would be nice indeed.  The problem is that additions need
some internal kernel headers to compile the driver and we don't have
any formal way to distribute those in a way that pkgsrc can use.  Any
further questions about that should really be directed to the pkgsrc
folks.
