teTex does exist
in the NetBSD package system so that should make it a snap to install.  No
need to mess around with manually getting sources from CTAN.  For general
info about the package system, see

http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html

looking at:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/print/teTeX/README.html

it would appear that there is a binary package for teTex for
NetBSD/pmax
