Your install docs for NetBSD-1.0_BETA were written before a very recent
change in the /sbin/modload program. It now supports post-load scripts.
Here's what I'm using for the aperture driver:

if [ -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kernel/ap.o ]; then
echo 'loading ap driver'
modload -o /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kernel/ap -e ap \
-p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kernel/ap_post \
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kernel/ap.o =
fi

echo "XF86 aperture driver loaded as module id $1, type $2, dev $3"
/bin/rm -f /dev/xf86
/sbin/mknod /dev/xf86 c $3 0
exit 0
