Although I'm sure this is in a FAQ or Meta-FAQ somewhere ;-) you need to
get -current sources.  I'd recommend making sure that you have -current
binaries first, tho.  You can get both off of ftp.netbsd.org.  Check out:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/tar_files/sys.tar.gz

for the kernel source (I think the URL is correct, it's off the top of my
head).

For the most recent binaries, I believe this is the URL:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/latest/

Obviously, if the above are not quite correct, dig around and you'll find
them fairly close to the above.

I hope this helps.

Later.
