Kinky! No spare disk but I don't mind playing around with this system. 
Reinstall is no problem. Being "able" is however.

I fetched the source and tried building the tooldir:
$ cd /usr/src
$ ./build.sh -m i386 tools
(as per the guide 28.1)

This however fails:
cp host-mkdep /usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-3.0.1-i386/bin/nbhost-mkdep
cp: host-mkdep: No such file or directory

/usr/src/tools/host-mkdep does however exist

I'm on a bit of a hockey stick learning curve here so this might take a 
while ;-)

If you are curious enough you can have root access to the box and go nuts.
