Maybe use mtree with the /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist specification. mtree can
be used to check your attributes and (re)set them too.

(And maybe also with the /usr/pkgsrc/mk/NetBSD.pkg.dist mtree
specification too.)

You may also want to try ktrace to see what file(s) /usr/bin/clear and vim
are trying to open.
