NetBSD can compile its kernels. I usually do it on a 5000/200.

You can put the sources where you want. Mines are in /usr/src/src_current, or
in /usr/src/tmp/current, depending on wich sources I'm working on. Once the
kernel is compiled, you just need to cp'it into /netbsd. A good thing is to
backup /netbsd into /netbsd.old before installing the new kernel.
The boot blocks looks for a file named /netbsd in the file system, so there
is no need to reinstall the boot blocks when you change the kernel, as
for linux.
