See the man pages:

That tells you about everything you need to know for setting up the
emulations.  However, you should also consider using the pkgsrc system that
NetBSD has, for natively created binaries that don't have the overhead of
emulation.  It is available via sup or ftp
(ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz).  The
pkgsrc system, which extracts under /usr/pkgsrc, is based on the FreeBSD
ports/packages system, and has a lot of the things you're looking for
already (including a linux_lib package).
