Why don't you just put (like the manpage suggests) the Sun libraries in 
`/sun/lib' (note that `sun' is the same length as `usr') and edit the 
SunOS ld.so that you place in NetBSD's /usr/lib, replacing all 
occurrences of `usr' with `sun'...that has _always_ worked for me, and I 
just mount the SunOS `/usr' partition on `/sun' under NetBSD.  Problem 
solved!  As for editing ld.so, I've used vi (sick as that may sound), and 
it works quite nicely.  It also keeps the SunOS libs out of NetBSD's 
`standard' filesystem namespace.
