You should update NetBSD to at least 1.2, and XFree86 to 3.2.  Many,
many bugs have been fixed since those two were released.

You should use the Mach64 server instead of the VGA16 server; a Mach64
server exists in XFree86 3.2.

>MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support

You should add "options SYSVSHM" to your kernel config, then re-config
and rebuild your kernel.  You will also need to either add "options
INSECURE" or use the XFree86 aperture driver LKM.

You gave XFree86 the wrong device name for your mouse.  If you have a
serial mouse, the mouse device will be one of /dev/tty0[0-3]; if you
have a PS/2 mouse it will be /dev/pms0, and if it's a Logitech or
Microsoft bus mouse it will be /dev/lms0 or /dev/mms0 respectively.
If the appropriate device node doesn't exist in /dev, use /dev/MAKEDEV
to create it.
