I am using NetBSD/i386 1.5_BETA w/ XFree86 3.3.6 and keyboard autorepeat
works for me (this is in an xterm window):

callisto:bstark$ uname -a
NetBSD callisto.niangua.net 1.5_BETA NetBSD 1.5_BETA (CALLISTO) #0: Sun
Nov  5 22:36:24 CST 2000
bstark@callisto.niangua.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/CALLISTO i386
callisto:bstark$ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa^C
callisto:bstark$ X -version  2>&1 | head -2 | tail -1
XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System
callisto:bstark$

Are you doing something special in your X Window System startup scripts to
disable the autorepeat feature? Check for any "xset" lines. If you have
something like "xset r off", you should change it to "xset r on". You
should probably try the "xset r on" command anyway to see if that gets the
autorepeat feature working for you. Using these commands I can toggle the
setting of the autorepeat feature on my system.
