nearly anything will work,

check www.xfree86.org for a listing of supported video cards.  i've run x4 and 
netbsd successfully on TNT2 and ATI Rage 128.

you may want to try a new ATI (their new card is really quite good) or perhaps 
the new Gforce.  basically, see what XFree86 supports.  that'll be your 
limiting factor.  If x supports it, then you can run it under netbsd.
