The HP9000/300 series has a 4k stack size. Amigas, Macs, Sun3s, and
any other (to my knowledge) NetBSD m68k platforms are 8k. Even NetBSD
uses a different (m68k4k vs. m68k) binary format, which isn't compatible
between the two, so the prospect of ever having HPUX compatibility is even
lower than it currently is for NetBSD/hp300.
