Well, not quite.  The NetBSD AFS client components are available from
the "user-contributed" area at Transarc.  The NetBSD port is supported
by me and others at MIT; it is not supported by Transarc.

The binary packages are in:
        /afs/transarc.com/public/afs-contrib/bin/netbsd.client
and as Michael stated, you need to have your site AFS contact (someone
with permissions to fetch protected files from Transarc) get
those files.
