I think that Kadari was really asking about the netatalk package.  Take
a look at the NetBSD site to discover how to use the NetBSD package system,
and use it to build the netatalk package.  It supplies an implementation of
various AppleTalk services over Ethernet, including printing and file sharing.
Once the daemons are set up and running, you can mount BSD filesystems as
ordinary volumes on a Mac's desktop.
