We updated to libcrypt.so.1 for 6.0, but the packages have been built
for 5.1. So you need to rebuild the packages yourself.

You find the recent pkgsrc in ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/.
Download pkgsrc-2011Q4.tar.gz (or .bz2 or .xz). Uncompress it into
/usr/pkgsrc. Then compile and install samba:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/samba
# make install

A quick PowerPC machine is recommended for building pkgsrc, but I also
did it on a 266MHz/64MB Synology NAS, which can take several days for
big packages.

In case you build the packages on a second machine, you find the archives
in /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All, when compilation is done.


I have built samba for 5.99.48, some months ago. I have uploaded it here:
  ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/phx/powerpc_pkg/
