Uh, no.  There won't be any "NetBSD Disklabel" AT
ALL.  The idea is  
that NetBSD will use GPT as the NATIVE partitioning format. 
A BSD  
disklabel won't be present on the disk in any way, shape, or
form.

What about systems that don't have, care or know about GPT?
Will we keep disklabels there, or do you intend to do some
strange 
wrangling at that end instead, to get GPTs in somehow?
