Your copy of kermit is either an older version, or was not built
properly.  It should be using /var/spool/lock, not /var/spool/uucp.
For a quick fix, try:

# cd /var/spool; ln -s lock uucp

You can also edit the binary and replace /var/spool/uucp with
/var/spool/lock there.

If you want to build kermit properly, get C-Kermit 5A(190) from
<URL:ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/archives/cku190.tar.gz>.
Unpack the source in its own directory, and then type

# make netbsd && make install MANDIR=/usr/local/man/man1 MANEXT=0
# chown uucp.bin /usr/local/bin/kermit
# chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/kermit
