Another closer look reveals that those options are no longer valid;
you need to use --enable-cgi instead now...

[This and the other problem with the default config file
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2007/04/28/0001.html)
are worth a PR already, but as said before I don't even have the
package installed. Maybe we can draw Manuel Bouyer's attention,
he's the package maintainer...]

No, they connect to the integrated "network information server"
(option NETSERVER) you already enabled.

It would probably be better if you try another recompile first,
so we know if it works when done "right" (and let others with
the same problem profit from that).
