I think most interesting part (i.e. dynamic configuration) is not yet 
merged to main tree of newconfig repository, because it is very early
experimental state.
The early stage of dynamic configuration part can be found on
	ftp://ftp.nop.or.jp/users/uch/PCMCIA/FreeBSD/

Although the newconfig repository which itojun-san pointed out
includes some interesting code, particularly pcibios.c is very
interesting. It retrieves PCI bus configuration information 
dynamically from PCI BIOS. The author of the pcibios.c 
(UCHIYAMA Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp> who is one of main developer of 
dynamic configuration) made this to work with both FreeBSD and 
NetBSD. Thus the pcibios.c should work with NetBSD with minimum 
change.
