  | 	when compiled for dbm (-DNDBM in sendmail compilation), sendmail 8.11.0
  | 	tries to use dbm_pagfno().  NetBSD does not supply the function
  | 	(/usr/include/ndbm.h disables it by a #define)

You must have _XOPEN_SOURCE defined somewhere, I don't think that is the
default (but I haven't tried to make sendmail 8.11 on a NetBSD-current)

  | 	db (-DNEWDB, IIRC) seem to work fine.

Yes, it is just fine, just a matter of switching the sendmail.cf to
use it (or building one).   What's more, since NetBSD's dbm support is
just db underneath, the only advantage of leaving it in I guess is for
compatability with other syste,s
