It´s strange !, I'm using NetBSD 6.0 RC2 (i386) yet and using the same brach for binaries 6.0_2012Q3 as you without problems installing htop and ncursesw.
Right, the installation works for me just fine - even though it complains it can't install ncurses which is a dependency for ncursesw.
But without ncurses, htop won't start.
Could you, please, send the output of:
ls -l /usr/lib/libmenu*
and
ls -l /usr/lib/libform*
and
pkg_info | grep ncurses
?
