On the console or in X Window (which desktop environment)?
Don't know this is useful, bu with OpenBSD in X the output of $ stty -a :

Some quite old Linux sources that describe keyboard mapping:

Could it be that you configured NetBSD to use a French keyboard layout, and that is causing these issues? |
I used vi both on the console and in X (twm) and in both cases the delete and esc keys seemed to work fine until i entered the insert mode (:a). Then when i pressed esc i'd get ^[ and delete would give me ^H but only on the console. in X vi would recognize the delete key correctly. And it acted the same with various chosen keyboard layouts.
Actually both keys acted the same way when i booted from the installation CD.
FIX:
stty erase ^H made the delete key work as it should.
stty intr ^[ fixed the esc key.
