Hi,
unfortunateley there is AFAIK no native Realplayer [1] for NetBSD (or any
*BSD), so the Linux emulation is used to get it work. On i386 you have to
download the non-distribution specific installer version -> linux 2.x libc6
i386 (not the rpm). Using Linux-emulated plugins also means that you need
an Linux-emulated firefox.
HTH

[1] MPlayer can play Real files and there is at least a Mozilla plugin
(moz-mplayer) in pkgsrc, but I never tried it yet.
