NetBSD appears to be an unusual platform in a number of regards. For purposes of building darcs, the functions that External.hs imports from term.h are instead found in /usr/include/termcap.h on my system. term.h doesn't exist.
I am not a configure expert, so I can't submit a patch, but I did get it to build, and I hope my experience might help future builders of darcs on NetBSD. All I did was edit autoconf.mk, setting HAVE_CURSES to True and replacing term.h with termcap.h in External.hs. THis enabled me to build darcs with color support. Sorry that I can't be of more help, but hopefully this message will find its way into Google to prevent future problems. If anyone does have a fix to configure and/or External.lhs, I'm happy to try to build with it.
