Do they generate any output at all? (A quick test would be to run
'hexdump -C', then hit the keys and ^D to exit). If they are
generating output but mc is not picking it up then it might just be a
terminal type setting issue.. What is $term for you? I've just tested
on NetBSD/amd64 netbsd-7 and the function keys worked on the console
as wsvt25 (albeit the line characters did not :)

There is "The Guide".. http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/ which is
relatively comprehensive, and where not obvious people are always
willing to answer questions and adjust the guide to be easier for the
next person :)
