there is a person on the netbsd mailing list who can help to develop a
patch. I have his agreement to forward his offer:

Well, I can still make tests on my NetBSD box if required, but please note
that it is in no way dependant of NetBSD.
The res_foo API is deprecated, and the alternative res_nfoo functions have
been around for many, many years. IMHO, using deprecated APIs in new code
is not recommended.
res_nfoo functions use statp instead of _res, which is thread-safe.
Feel free to forward my mail if you need too.

Maybe exim *can* run on NetBSD. This would be great!
