I just did this. Netbsd puts the includes that you need in something like
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/  and xearth looks for them in /usr/include/X11

if you do something like this:
cd /usr/include
ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/X11  .

it should work, and some other stuff that looks for the includes will work
as well. Look over my paths carefully, these are from memory, and the
machine is at home so I can't check.

Once you do this, xearth compiles fine out of the box, and runs fine too.
