The configure script found pthread support on netbsd without
--enable-treads=posix so CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-threads won't be
needed. If I understand correctly including mk/pthread.buildlink3.mk
and "PTHREAD_OPTS+= require" will install devel/pth on systems that do
not have their own thread implementation and configure will find this
on these systems. pth is in the list of posix|solaris|pth|win32.
