For installed binaries, this is common.

This probably indicates that your version of NetBSD, compiler & linker have
problems with Thread Local Storage, which is used by variables that start
with 't_' in PowerDNS.

Could you split line 1508 as follows:

NetmaskGroup* oldAllowFrom = t_allowFrom;
NetmaskGroup* allowFrom = new NetmaskGroup;

? If it still crashes on 1508 (and not on 1509), this is definitely a __thread problem.
