Windows not really - NetBSD may build in Cygwin, but I'm not sure of that.
Else, I've built NetBSD for various platforms from NetBSD, Linux, Mac OS 
and Solaris.

See http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/part-compile.html, your target 
platform doesn't matter for the sources that you use. The decision that 
you should make here is what NetBSD CVS branch to use - HEAD (AKA 
NetBSD-current) for the latest & greatest, or a release branch like 
netbsd-5. For a start, I'd recommend the latter.

No. Welcome to the command line.
