Nice :hugs:
I'm happy to see another awesome user, even more so on NetBSD :sunglasses:
I see you are taking the same path that I did sometime ago when I first started using awesome, although my first steps were on Void...
What you did so far is correct, but try to push it a bit further. You can copy theme.lua to ~/.config/awesome and start modifying it :wink:
You can also create an icon folder and wallpaper folder there and correct the paths in rc.lua and theme.lua.
Have a look at my github repo if you like, you can find the link on one of my previous posts above, just be aware that I've changed a few things. The most important to remember is that I've removed window titelbar support. I find it rather useless on a tiling wm, but compare the code and make your own choice.
I'm using Liberation Sans as font, but if you mean this { "➊", "➋", "➌", "➍", "➎", "➏", "➐", "➑", "➒" }, I took it from Arco linux awesome spin :yum: ...but, you can just grab the line here and place it in your rc.lua
One more thing. I use just 3 tiling layouts, so I've removed the others. Feel free to grab my NetBSD orange icons if you want, they were just painted using GIMP.

and wallpaper from https://wallpaperscraft.com/
There are a few other details, like the battery widget, it's nice to have one if you're on a laptop like me. But, I wrote about those on this thread, just a few posts above.
Just let me know if you need anything else :wink:
Oh, by the way... welcome to this nice corner :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
EDIT: It seems vicious widgets still support FreeBSD, see https://github.com/vicious-widgets/vicious
Although, some lua code still requires changes for it to work on NetBSD.
