Sorry for very late reply.

It fails with the following errors (from firefox and mplayer).
I feel pulseaudio 4.0 may not work on NetBSD.
According to
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/3.0/

  Support for HAL has been removed. This shouldn't affect anyone,
  but if it does, please configure PulseAudio to use udev instead.
  module-hal-detect still exists for maintaining configuration file
  compatibility, but all it does is to load module-udev-detect.
  module-hal-detect may get completely removed in 4.0.

udev is required.
NetBSD has no udev.
We have devpubd(8), but I am completely no idea about it.
