You will find many of the BSD documents in /usr/share/doc.  Some of
the irrelevant and out of date ones are not present though.  But if
you want to stick to that documentation style and framework, much of
what you will need to get started is already there.

I'm not sure why you think the PRM is a horror.  It would probably be
the easiest since it's essentially just the man pages (sections 2, 3,
4, and 5) which are rather well-maintained in NetBSD.
