Why, that's about what hung me on my mass-build this afternoon. Too bad I 
don't know enough C to go after this. :-(

You and everyone else -- I'd love to have it as an X server for other 
clients on my LAN.

The point is that we're all sitting around, not knowing a lot of C, wishing 
we could do cool things with our Dreamcasts, and making a huge library of 
readily available ports is one of those things. You've got to admit, it 
would be a huge addition to the port for any newbie coming to it...and 
besides, it goes along with NetBSD's principle of "runs on anything". It may 
not be entirely practical to do this, but it's a good idea on principle, and 
it's not like we'd be wasting precious resources.

FYI, I just used the official NetBSD contact form to ask for someone with 
appropriate rights to ftp.netbsd.org to mail the list with instructions on 
how to upload finished packages, so we can hopefully do something useful 
here.
