If I remember correctly that's the message you get when you try to run
an Xserver on i386 with a kernel security level of > 0. In that case
you need the aperture driver lkm (it's in pkgsrc) and an Xserver
that's aware of it. (The XFree 4 binaries for NetBSD found on
xfree86.org often aren't.)

Be sure that support for the NetBSD Aperture driver is enabled in the
source configuration files before building X.
