the easiest way to run bash on your system is to use pkgsrc.
pkgsrc is a framework to build software from source for netbsd.
Please read the pkgsrc documentation: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/
Quick steps: Download the pkgsrc tarball
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/pkgsrc-2007Q2/pkgsrc-2007Q2.tar.gz
untar it, change into the directory pkgsrc/shells/bash/ and enter
"make install clean"

Zafer.
