AFAIK you can access only the 'a' partition of the NetBSD slice.
Just mount it.

If you need other partitions, try to use following module:

http://www.26th.net/public/projects/freebsd/geom_nbsd/geom_nbsd.tgz

1. Download, unpack, go it to the dir.
2. Say "make".
3. Sys "kldload ./geom_nbsd.ko"
4. All /dev/ad0s3[a-g] should appear.
5. Now mount all partitions as usual.

The module is tested on 6.x and CURRENT. One known bug - it's impossible 
to unload it, you have to reboot for this.
