Doesn't NetBSD's default Xorg support the Wii's GPU? Did you try "startx"
for a test? I know it works on my macppc and ofppc hardware.

You can always download the latest pkgsrc archive from ftp.netbsd.org,
extract it to /usr, and compile yourself:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/modular-xorg
# make package install

I never used pkgin. Just set the PKG_PATH environment variable and use
pkg_add, which is always there.

Otherwise:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgin
# make package install
