Bash compiles on a lot of platforms, have you tried downloading it from
ftp.gnu.org and compiling it?

I don't like/use bash so i don't install it, I use zsh, and netbsd has a
package for it:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/....packages/All/zsh....

just download and type "pkg_add zsh...."

(.... signifies i'm too lazy to find the exact filename/URL so you find it
out :)  )

you might want to symlink /usr/pkg -> /usr/local like so:

cd /usr/
ln -s local pkg
