Get and install the sources of NetBSD-current, setenv DESTDIR to a 
directory with enough space to hold usr/include and usr/lib, cd to 
/usr/src (or wherever you installed NetBSD-current into) and there
type 'make build' or 'make -i build' (I prefer the second one and 
pipe/tee the output into a log-file). Depending on your machine
and on the problems which arise during this build wait some time
(on my uVAX-II it takes some 5 to 10 days :) until the build gets
finished.
Meanwhile you should configure and compile a new kernel and copy
the new kernel into your root-directory.
If the build is finished without major problems, then setenv DESTDIR 
to an empty string, type 'make -i install' to install the new files
and reboot your machine with your new kernel.

At least that's what I do ...

PS: you'll need ~100MB to hold NetBSD-current tree including the 
    compiled files and libraries.
