These should be part of the native Xorg.

This is the only change I have in my /etc/sysctl.conf :
kern.maxfiles=16384
security.pax.mprotect.enabled=0
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=131072
net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_auto=1
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_auto=1

Nothing besides the mentioned above. However, I am running -current as
of yesterday and each and every package is locally built. I haven't
tried the package sets available from the NetBSD foundation yet. I
actually have two build hosts with different /etc/mk.conf files, using
different versions of python and a few other bits.

AS I said, nothing special. This is the relevant part of my /etc/rc.conf:
...
sshd=YES
mdnsd=YES
httpd=YES
wscons=YES
rpcbind=YES rpcbind_flags="-l" # -l logs libwrap
mountd=YES mountd_flags="" # NFS mount requests daemon
nfs_client=YES # enable client daemons
nfs_server=YES # enable server daemons
lockd=YESlockd_flags=""
statd=YESstatd_flags=""
ntpdate=YES
winbindd=YES
smbd=YES
nmbd=YES
dbus=YES
mpd=YES
hal=YES
avahidaemon=YES
autofs=YES automount_flags=""
cupsd=YES
cups_browsed=YES
so there is dbus, hal, avahi running. I also build kde4 without samba
(PKG_OPTIONS.kde-runtime4+= -samba in /etc/mk.conf, as this used to
bring samba3, I am using samba4, even as a AD DC in a few systems).
