I'm not the OP who reported the problem, but, as you ask:
oc@NetBSD:/home/oc$ grep -i path .profile
# Set the search path for programs.
PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R7/bin:/usr/pkg/bin
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
export PATH
oc@NetBSD:/home/oc$ echo $PATH
/home/oc/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R7/bin:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
