The installation of the system apparently did that for me.  At least I
have

ls -l /dev/agp*
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  82, 0 Oct 31  2002 /dev/agp0
lrwx------  1 root  wheel      4 Oct 31  2002 /dev/agpgart -> agp0

On a Dell C400, or some other laptop?  If on a Dell, with which version
of NetBSD and XFree86?

And what does your kernel say about agp during the boot - presumably it
doesn't give the "can't map aperture" message that I am seeing?
