It probably wouldn't affect this situation, anyway, but...

Then it should have worked.

Maybe.  Depending on how fresh your pkgsrc tree is, you might also be able
to just update pkgsrc.  (It's constantly evolving, and is relatively
decoupled from NetBSD proper.)

Still, if you don't have a clear reason to need 4.x, and if you don't use
the 4.x autoconfig (you said you ran the configuration utility instead),
you might as well use 3.3.6 as a starting point.  4.x will be there later.
(^&  But the ruts are a little deeper and smoother with 3.3.6, so things
may work a bit more as-expected.
