NetBSD does not have /etc/crontab by default (though the cron
daemon will use it if present). The /local2/... line above looks
fine, though you may need to confirm yo your environment such as
PATH.
If you're running as root under NetBSD you could add it to
/etc/daily though there is not much gain in that.
