First, you don't need to reinstall NetBSD. I would suggest removing Xorg you installed through pkgsrc by using pkg_delete. There is nothing wrong with the one that came with base OS. I say that because when you come to update the system leter it would be much easier to update Xorg that way.

Create simple xorg.conf and try starting Xorg. Then note down the errors (if any) it spits on screen, or look for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or maybe /var/log/messages.

I would also suggest you copy the config files to a USB disk, then using Fedora you could give them here.
