If making not root, you may want to make a mirror root dir and direct the install there using configure options. My home dir has a dir tree root/usr/local and a sym link to local, PATHing to include the bin and LD_LIBRARY_PATHing for the lib.
I installed some binaries but had to rework internal PATHing using chattr.

is booted from appropriate installation media.
sysinst is usually not present on a NetBSD system that has been fully installed.
OPTIONS
-D Switch on debugging.
-r releasename Set the releasename if it is different to the one compiled. Currently unused.
-f deffile Set a file for definitions other than the defaults. See DEFINITION FILE for its format.
DEFINITION FILE
The definition file is used to set several other names and directories to search for. You can specify any of the options in the file. They
are stored as:
