Hello! The dpkg port without the --print-libgcc-file-name problem takes longer than expected. Anyway, dpkg partially works, you can download it from http://debian-bsd.sourceforge.net/ (I registered a sf.net project, just to be sure. If somebody else wants an account there to put his files, just email me, and I will add you, or add yourself, but I don't know whether that's possible). You can also find there the very first Debian package I was able to create - although I had to use dpkg-buildpackage -d. Install dpkg from source, and debhelper and devscripts and several other packages (warning: most of them don't have a make install routine, so you have to copy manually!). dpkg is currently very buggy. I had problems building packages because while building such a package, it often deletes files in the debian subdirectory of the package!! I couldn't find any solution yet, some dh_* scripts don't seem to work, either, I don't know. And yes, when you try to build something, install GNU make as /usr/bin/make and copy the BSD make to /usr/bin/bsdmake. The BSD will be needed for all the BSD specific stuff (e.g. libc, which I'm currently building; is it correct that the libc that comes with NetBSD has the version number 12.62.1? The file shlib_version said, but I wasn't sure (seems quite high for me)).
