cd /usr
ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/pkgsrc.tar.gz (1MB)
tar zxf pkgsrc.tar.gz
cd pkgsrc
make install
Afterwards you will have about 500MB less space on your hard drive :-)
Of course you could install whatever you want, not the entire packages.

Not true. Netscape is now available :-)
Try out this one:
http://www.bga.com/~khym/netbsd/mozilla-netbsd-m68k.gz (2.5 MB)
As for other (commercial) software: Maple for Sun3 works (if you have
shared libs from SunOS), Greenhill C-Compiler does, too (this was the
Compiler used to compile AmigaOS). Otherwise, I never tried any other
software, I am happy with the huge amount of freely available and
distributable software.
