I have updated arduino-cli and added arduino-esp8266 core package.
They are tested on NetBSD/amd64 9.3 by the procedures in below webpage:
https://ericslenk.com/posts/getting-started-with-the-nodemcu-esp8266-and-arduino-cli

It is also able to use monitor command to read the serial output:
arduino-cli monitor -p /dev/ttyU0 -c baudrate=115200

For other than ESP8266 platforms, you may try to add their core packages for the
boards.
