Altboot could theoretically use information from the initrd image. For
example I thought about passing the bootargs in it.

But I guess you would never need that. For installation you have to
connect a serial console anyway, where you can use the interactive mode
of altboot to load the netbsd-INSTALL kernel via TFTP.
