No it didn't; Data OnTAP was mostly written in-house, although the
networking stack is (4.4)BSD based.

The "locore" stuff for the Alpha based filers did come from NetBSD,
which is what the copyright statements in the OnTAP manuals refers
to.  Given that NetApp have gone back to using x86 CPUs in their
boxes, it's unlikely that much of the NetBSD code in OnTAP is used
anymore.

before the short time that I worked for NetApp a couple of years ago.)
