The reason it's in /usr/local/... is because it's not fully integrated
into the NetBSD source tree, yet.

This, however, should be fixed reasonably quickly shortly after 1.3 is
released, since GNU binutils is now in the main sources for gdb.

Unfortunately, binutils wasn't imported soon enough in order to fully
integrate the Alpha toolchain.
