Those aren't tar archives, such as would allow the installer to intall
the kernel as /netbsd. David has two choices. 1)Use a MacOS tool, such
as Stuffit Expander, to gunzip the files (line ending transloation
OFF), and cpin them, or 2) cpin them as they are, and set the booter
to the actual file name, netbsd-GENERIC.gz or whatever.  The installer
can handle a gzipped kernel, but it will have to be unzipped and
renamed in order for "ps" and friends to work properly. He can use
"mount -a; gunzip -c netbsd-GENERIC.gz >/netbsd". I'm fairly
certain all this is in the installation notes.
