I thought NetBSD 3.0 didn't suffer from this problem.  dlopen.builtin.mk 
thinks that the problem was fixed after NetBSD-2.99.10.  If it's not, 
then we should add NetBSD<=3.0 to the list in dlopen.builtin.mk of 
platforms that require pthreads when using dlopen().  Can you test to 
see if that makes apache + ap-perl on your system work correctly?
