I don't know about NetBSD, but FreeBSD has a lot of optional stuff in
base that's compiled in by default.  For example, the entire Bluetooth
stack can be disabled by WITHOUT_BLUETOOTH=yes make buildworld.  At
$WORK, I disabled a whole bunch of stuff that way to slim down our
product's image.  A deeply embedded system, I'm sure, would disable
even more.  If rump can be disabled in a NetBSD build, then it would
be worthwhile for rump-based ATF tests to identify themselves via
require.progs.
