Default Using infrared on ARM NetBSD

My Banana Pi has an integrated infrared receiver which is supported by NetBSD according to the wiki and dmesg although I have no idea how I might use it under NetBSD. I know the receiver and my remote work as I've had them working under (Arch) Linux.

Having searched the net, the only IR app I've found for NetBSD so far is lirc which is in pkgsrc but when I try to build it it says "lirc is not available for this platform".

All I want to do is to be able to trigger shell commands by pushing buttons on my remote control.

Hopefully someone here has some experience with IR under NetBSD, even if it isn't on an ARM platform?
