I think that the changes to automatically build an image are kind of
intrusive to backport to 6. On the other hand, you can get a daily
image from the current builds:

        http://releng.netbsd.org/
                Daily binary snapshots -> HEAD -> YYYYMMDDHHMMZ ->
                evbarm -> binary -> gzimg -> rpi.img.gz

for example:
ittp://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201302230640Z/evbarm/binary/gzimg/rpi.img.gz
