It's actually not too surprising, considering that it's already been ported,
or at least mostly ported - I try not to keep track of it too closely, to
the MCG PowerPC platform. It's not a tremendous leap for them to get it
onto the Mac.
I'd personally like to see NetBSD get onto a CHRP-compliant system. I'm
not a fan of MacOS, AIX, NT, Solaris, or Linux, and I'd like to get a
real OS on one of the boxes we're putting our chips in. If anyone is
willing to seriously commit to getting NetBSD ported to a (non-Mac) PowerPC
system, I'd be willing to try to get some resources coughed up for the
project. I don't know what, if anything, I'll be able to do, but I'll
make my best effort.
