I asked about a NetBSD native binary, and their answer was pretty blunt:
no, we won't support anything other than what we do now.

Damn straight there are.  Ghostscript comes to mind, if it could only

The difficult part is really the compression -- once you uncompress the
pdf contents I believe it smells a lot like postscript.
