What's the exact error? As a point of information, there's only one binary
package on ftp.netbsd.org:

fredb@nbftp.isc.org-> ll */m68k/All/unproven-*
-rwxrwxr-x  1 mbw  netbsd  124795 Mar 28  2000 1.4.2/m68k/All/unproven-pthreads-0.11.tgz

...and here's all the information encoded in it:

...so you see it's quite old (the current "Makefile" is at rev1.24), and it's
not inconceivable that something's been broken for m68k in the intervening time.
