hello. If you put a gpt label on a raid set and add partitions to it, those partitions will show up as dkn devices automatically, when the raid set is configured. This is true whether the raid set is configured automatically by the kernel at boot or manually via raidctl -C or -c. This has been true since NetBSD-5.
The NAME=<partition> syntax in the fstab file works as well. -thanks -Brian
