A good start. Welcome to the world of NetBSD.

Assuming (from your sig) you are on a RiscPC. The X Server for the RiscPC does
not require any kind of configuration file. By default it will use the screen
mode that your console is running in but that can be changed using setdisplay.
This is not installed as part of the base system but can be installed using
the NetBSD package system (pkgsrc) and is in misc/vidc-tools 

To run the RiscPC X server just do the following as root:

cd /usr/X11R6/bin
rm -f X
ln -s Xarm32VIDC X

You should then be able to start the X Server with:

startx
