DG,

  You'll be pleasantly surprised, I think, at how infrequently this is
  actually required with NetBSD.  It isn't like the "new local root
  hole patched every week" linux stuff.  Of course, given the
  never-ending stream of problems in the BIND resolver library,
  openssl and openssh, updating userland is necessary more often.
