Perhaps you might want to try non-hardware floating point? It's been a 
while since I played with getting a chroot running on an Airport, but I 
seem to remember skipping hardware floating point. I don't remember if 
there was a reason for me doing thay.

At one time I set up a Raspberry Pi with NetBSD 6 to compile things for 
use on an Airport. Perhaps I still have those files somewhere. I'll have 
to look.

I don't think anything got deleted off of the NetBSD FTP server. Have you 
tried these pkgsrc packages?

/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/arm/6.0_2014Q1/All/
