In 5.0 install you can select between various x11 sets that contain xorg package, it is propably possible to use xfree from pkgsrc, but I have too little knowledge in NetBSD to confirm that.

Its not like OSS @ FreeBSD or like OSS4 with live kernel mixing (at least was when I last checked it), I wasnt able to get sound on my Dell d630 laptop, but I must take little more deep into that problem.
On older hardware the sound worked, but if you have 1 physical channel, then only 1 sound that uses OSS will be playing (no live in kernel audio mixing), but I have also read on some efforts to make it that way.

OSS3.9 package maybe works on NetBSD 3 but it does not work for sure on NetBSD 5.0, I already tried
Maybe I will contact OSS4 developers why then do not continus any work for NetBSD.
