I don’t have much to comment about your specific question, but I would like to offer you some advice on potential alternative solutions to your problem. Good luck! 1) Maybe use pkgin to install binary packages directly. Prebuilt binary packages are provided for i386, so you should be able to install and use pkgin directly. 2) Install i386 NetBSD on your build machine. To avoid the issue of having to cross-compile packages altogether, you could install NetBSD for i386 on your build machine (either natively or on a VM) and build the packages that way. It should be possible to run NetBSD for i386 on AMD64 hardware (on bare metal, but also on a VM running on either i386 or AMD64 host OS with working CPU-accelarated virtualisation). Since you say that the package(s) you want wouldn’t take more than 1GB to build, it should be fine on 32-bit address space.
