C-Kermit 5A(190) BETA.04 from
kermit.columbia.edu:/kermit/test/binaries/cku190.tar.gz supports
NetBSD-current (including the proper lockfile location and format).
Another problem that I fixed and sent in for 5A(190) is to define
POSIX_CRTSCTS for NetBSD; without it, you get mysterious lossage at
high speeds, because RTS/CTS flow control doesn't work without it.

The only change needed to get it working properly is to replace the
calls to setuid() and setgid() in ckutio.c to seteuid() and setegid(),
respectively (I haven't been able to convince them to accept that
patch yet).

othersrc/kermit should be nuked.  Even though 5A(190) is still in
beta-test, it's in much better shape.
